Join to apply for the Service Maintenance Technician - Electrical role at Tesco
As an Electrical Maintenance Technician at Tesco, covering the Cornwall / Helston / Truro areas, you’ll play a crucial role in ensuring our stores remain safe, operational, and welcoming for both customers and colleagues. Your primary focus will be on maintaining and repairing electrical systems and equipment, helping to keep our operations running smoothly and efficiently.
You’ll be part of a skilled maintenance team, responsible for both planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive electrical repairs across a wide range of systems, including lighting, power distribution, emergency systems, and control panels.

In return, you’ll benefit from ongoing training, opportunities to develop your career in a nationally recognised brand, and the satisfaction of knowing your work directly enhances the shopping experience for thousands of customers every day.
