Job description

Maintenance Electrician – Secure site near Burton upon Trent, clearance needed. Please call for Salary.

We have a fantastic opportunity for a permanent Electrician to join HMP Sudbury near Burton upon Trent.

This role is based on-site, which has limited access to public transport so you will need to be able to drive to/from work each day.

There will be a need to work weekends but this would be on a 1 in 3 week rota basis (and with an additional allowance of 15% of basic salary).

The Electrician plays an important part in ensuring the planned and reactive maintenance work within the prison is carried out in a safe, compliant and timely manner.

The standard hours of work are 39 hours per week, across a 7-day schedule where a weekend shift pattern is in place.

You will be responsible for:

1. Planned and preventative electrical maintenance.
2. Diagnosing and replacing failed domestic electrical components.
3. Responding to breakdowns ensuring all works are carried out under the appropriate Safe System of Work and in a timely manner.
4. Actively fault finding / problem solving on domestic electrical systems across the prison.
5. Undertaking electrical installation activities in accordance with the design provided and IET Wiring Regulations.
6. Testing and inspecting electrical installations in accordance with the current IEE wiring regulations.
7. Monitoring and ordering critical spares for all electrical services.

We want to hear from you if you have/are:

Appropriate technical qualification, e.g., City & Guilds 2365 parts 1-3, BTEC, NVQ level 3 or above.

BS7671 IET Wiring Regulations, specifically 18th Edition*.

Experience of electrical maintenance activities, general distribution, installation, and testing.

Knowledge and experience of Electrical Systems and Electricity at Work Regulations.

Capable of working at heights.

*Ideally, you will be qualified in the 18th Edition (however, if you currently only have the 17th Edition, we will sponsor you to upgrade to the 18th Edition; terms and conditions apply) with experience in electrical maintenance within a commercial environment.

In addition to this, it would be desirable if you have IT skills and experience in fire alarm systems and CCTV systems to help you hit the ground running, although this is not essential as we will provide you with the required development you need to bring you up to speed.
