Working independently across a range of customer locations, you'll help minimise equipment downtime, maintain high standards of electrical safety and ensure our equipment remains compliant with relevant legislation and company standards.

Main Responsibilities

• Inspect, maintain and service electrical components of existing pumping equipment, including motors and control panels installed on customer sites.
• Plan and coordinate allocated servicing and inspection activities, reviewing scheduled work through company systems and arranging site attendance directly with customers where required.
• Ensure all necessary site access requirements, permissions, RAMS and customer documentation are completed in advance of attendance.
• Produce and maintain accurate and detailed records of service activities, inspections, maintenance schedules and compliance documentation using company systems.
• Conduct scheduled periodic electrical inspection and testing of installed equipment in accordance with BS7671 and BS7430 regulations, electrical safety standards and relevant industry legislation.

• Work independently across customer locations, travelling directly to planned site appointments as required and attending branches for operational requirements, meetings, training or where no site work is scheduled.
• Carry out any other reasonable duties or specific tasks requested by your line manager in accordance with company policies and procedures.
• This role is not ordinarily part of the reactive call-out rota. However, as business requirements develop, there may be an opportunity or requirement to participate in an on-call arrangement, subject to appropriate consultation and reasonable notice.

Qualifications

• NVQ Level 3 in Electrical Installations or Electrical Maintenance (or equivalent)
• JIB Qualified Electrician and ability to meet the requirements to obtain an ECS Gold card - 18th edition (BS7671)
• 2391 & 2392 City and Guilds qualification for inspections and testing
• Full UK Driving Licence and willingness to travel on a regular basis.
• Demonstrable experience working as an electrician in similar industry, preferably within the construction or pump industry.
• Experience working as an electrician subsequent to the satisfactory completion of training and immediately prior to the application.
• Strong electrical fault finding and diagnostic skills
• Knowledge of electrical compliance and inspection requirements
• Ability to work independently on customer sites
• Strong safety awareness and adherence to procedures
• Good communication and customer service skills
• Accurate documentation and reporting
• Ability to interpret electrical drawings and schematics
