Are you a proven Electrical Supervisor ready to lead from the front in a safety-critical, high-performance environment? Do you thrive in heavy industry where no two days are the same, and your leadership genuinely makes an impact?
Our client, a major UK infrastructure and logistics organisation, is investing heavily in its future and is now seeking an experienced Electrical Supervisor to join their engineering team at a large-scale operational site in Liverpool.
This is a key leadership role where you'll take ownership of a multi-skilled maintenance team, keeping essential plant and equipment running safely, efficiently, and compliantly in a demanding, fast-paced environment.

Leading and developing a team of electrical and multi-skilled engineers
Ensuring all maintenance, installation, and commissioning activities meet the highest safety and quality standards
Driving compliance across statutory regulations including PUWER, PSSR, COSHH, LOLER and DSEAR
Managing contractors and preferred suppliers on specialist works
Producing Root Cause Analysis and leading fault-finding investigations
Working closely with operations and other engineering functions to minimise downtime and maximise performance
Supporting continuous improvement and safe systems of work across the site
This is a highly visible role where your decisions, leadership style, and technical judgement will directly influence operational performance.
What We're Looking For
We're seeking a confident Electrical Supervisor with at least 4-5 years' experience in a supervisory or leadership role within a heavy industrial environment such as ports, manufacturing, utilities, energy, FMCG, or similar.
