The role
Our client, a leading UK organisation operating one of the country's most complex and advanced industrial research sites, is offering a rare long-term opportunity for an experienced electrician to play a key role in major installation and commissioning projects. Working within a large, safety‑critical environment, you'll see projects through from initial installation right the way to commissioning and ongoing maintenance over several years, building deep technical expertise and site knowledge. Many team members have progressed into senior technical and supervisory roles thanks to structured training, exposure to large distribution networks and responsibility for leading small teams on multi‑disciplinary projects. Benefits Long-term stability with a fixed contract up to 12 months, giving you the security to follow complex projects from installation through to commissioning. High‑responsibility, hands‑on industrial work across a large, complex site, strengthening your practical skills, leadership experience and career prospects. Role Responsibilities Take the lead on electrical installation, commissioning, fault‑finding, maintenance and repair of control and distribution equipment across a large industrial site, directly supporting key operational and research activities. Work on sizeable electrical distribution networks and control cubicles, ensuring all work is completed safely, efficiently and in full compliance with current legislation and codes of practice. Set work and supervise less experienced electricians and apprentices, planning daily tasks, allocating workloads and contributing to the successful delivery of multi‑disciplinary projects. Requirements Completed electrical craft apprenticeship plus City & Guilds 2357 (AM2) or equivalent, updated to BS 7671 18th Edition, and City & Guilds 2395 (inspection & testing) or equivalent - enabling you to apply and further develop your technical qualifications in a demanding industrial setting. Proven experience in an industrial or commercial electrical environment, with practical expertise in installing, commissioning, fault‑finding, maintaining and repairing electrical control and distribution equipment, giving you the platform to take on high‑responsibility work from day one. Strong safety focus and team skills, including the ability to work to a written safe system of work (WSSOW), communicate effectively, solve problems on complex systems, and, ideally, lead installation teams and prioritise workloads to drive project success.
