Job description

Lead Smart Meter Engineer

Job Title: Lead Smart Meter Engineer

Location: Scotland

Salary: £42,000 per annum plus a discretionary bonus scheme

Sponsorship: Unfortunately, we are unable to offer sponsorship for this role.

Are you an experienced Smart Meter Engineer looking to take the next step in your career whilst continuing to work hands-on in the field?

What part can you play in making a difference?

As a Lead Field Engineer, you will support the Field Manager with the day-to-day operations of the team, whilst being the first point of contact for our engineers.

Your role will combine installing Smart Meters, alongside coaching and development responsibilities. You'll adapt your approach to the needs of each engineer, sharing best practice, providing constructive guidance, and helping colleagues build their technical knowledge and confidence.

What do we need from you?

• You’ll be an experienced Dual Fuel Smart Meter Engineer holding in date CCN1/ CMA1/ CMA3 and MET1 or equivalent qualifications. Three-phase and medium-pressure qualifications would be advantageous, but they are not essential.
• You’ll be approachable, patient, and confident, with the ability to adapt your coaching style to the engineer you’re supporting. You’ll be equally comfortable providing guidance to others and completing your own work in the field.
• You’ll be organised, proactive, and comfortable using your own initiative. Whether you’re completing installations, supporting an engineer or assisting the Field Manager, you’ll lead by example demonstrating a strong commitment to safety, quality, compliance, and performance.
• Within this role, you will hold a full UK driving license and be required to complete a DBS/DOS vetting check.
