Job description

Maintain and enhance the critical systems that keep our network running safely

As a Network Technician (E&I) for Cadent, you’ll play a key role in maintaining, repairing and improving the systems that support Cadent’s gas transportation network. You won't just fix faults and issues, you'll be ensuring our Electrical & Instrumentation (E&I) assets operate safely, reliably and efficiently across the network.

This role is 42 hours a week, based in our London Network and working within our Safety and Engineering directorate. You’ll support both routine and non‑routine activities, including fault finding, repairs and system modifications. You’ll be hands‑on in the field, helping to keep essential infrastructure running while supporting wider operational performance and safety.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced technician looking for variety, responsibility and the chance to make a visible impact in a safety‑critical environment. The role involves regular travel, so a full UK driving licence is essential.

Why you’ll love this role:

• Asset Health & Assurance– Assess and report on the condition of E&I equipment, ensuring systems remain safe and operational.
• Maintenance & Repair– Carry out maintenance, fault finding and repairs across instrumentation and electrical assets.
• Timely Delivery– Complete work efficiently and in line with statutory and operational requirements.
• Standby Support– Participate in an E&I standby rota to support network performance and service continuity.
• Contractor Oversight– Supervise contractors and third parties, ensuring safe, high‑quality work delivery.
• Operational Support– Support non‑routine activities and system modifications across the network.
• Team Collaboration– Build strong working relationships across Cadent teams and operational functions.

What you’ll bring:

• E&I Experience– Experience working in an Electrical & Instrumentation environment, including installation, maintenance and fault finding. If you are only qualified in a single field, we can still take you on, as long as you agree to undertake training to become dual skilled.
• Technical Knowledge– Strong understanding of electrical/instrumentation drawings, procedures and technical documentation.
• Regulatory Awareness– Knowledge of relevant legislation and standards (e.g. BS7671, EAWR, Health & Safety at Work Act).
• Standards & Compliance– Familiarity with engineering instructions, codes of practice and statutory regulations.
• Electrical Qualifications– Electrical testing and inspection qualification (C&G 2391 or equivalent), or a recognised electrical/instrumentation qualification or apprenticeship. COMPEX Certification – EX01–04 desirable but not essential.
• Flexible Working Approach– Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a field‑based role.
