Job description

Overview

Up to £39,000, day shift only, no call-out rota. You’ll be working in one of the cleanest, most safety-focused industrial sites in the region. Based in Darwen, this is a permanent, site-based Facilities Electrician position on a well-run manufacturing site where standards are high, tools are provided, and the maintenance team actually works with you – not against you.

Here's why this one’s worth a closer look:

• £39,000 salary + excellent benefits
• No on-call rota
• Day shift – Monday to Friday
• Clean, well-maintained site
• All tools, PPE and testing equipment provided
• Strong focus on preventative maintenance, not just firefighting
• Part of a multi-skilled team with genuine support from leadership

Responsibilities

• Working across the full site – fault-finding, carrying out PPMs, handling lighting, HVAC, building services and some installation work.
• They’ve invested heavily in new infrastructure, so you won’t be battling ancient equipment or constant breakdowns.

Requirements

• 18th Edition qualified
• Hands-on experience in facilities or building services maintenance
• Comfortable with reactive and planned work (electrical bias, but able to support across mechanical and general)
• Able to read electrical drawings, isolate circuits, test/commission systems
• Organised and safety-focused with good communication skills
• Happy working with contractors and liaising with other departments
• Experience in manufacturing, aerospace, or regulated industries would be a bonus – but not essential. What’s more important is your reliability, attitude, and ability to work safely and independently.

What next?

• If you’ve got a CV ready, great – send it over.
• If not, just drop a quick message or apply with what you have and tell us it is not up-to-date. We’ll talk you through the rest.
