Morson Talent is proud to partner with Electricity North West—the region’s electricity network operator and a key contributor to the UK’s net-zero ambitions. From powering homes and businesses to enabling the growth of renewable energy, they’re leading the charge toward a more sustainable future.
Are you ready for a role where your quick thinking and practical skills create real impact—every single day?
At Electricity North West, it’s about more than keeping the lights on. They power communities, connect industries, and support vital services across the region. We’re now hiring an Electrical Fitter to join their frontline response team—restoring supply, resolving faults, and delivering outstanding customer service when it matters most.
This is not a typical field-based role. As a Fitter, you’ll be first on the scene when critical issues arise—be it a power outage, equipment fault, or urgent safety incident. You’ll work across both LV and HV networks, using your expertise to restore services quickly and safely, making real-time decisions that directly affect customers.
But it doesn’t stop at fixing faults. You’ll also help shape the future—working with advanced technologies, supporting trial initiatives, and contributing to the development of smarter fault-location methods that reduce downtime and strengthen the network across the North West.
