What will I be doing?

As an Electrician, you'll take the lead on installing a wide range of cables, including multi-core, single core, co-axle, and fibre optic. You'll also install electrical systems, such as junction boxes, fuse panels, consoles, transformers, switches etc.

Outside of this, you'll support on a range of activities including cable reeving, banding and terminations, and the alignment and installation of all electrical equipment.

You'll carry out routine inspections and preventative maintenance to make sure that equipment runs efficiently, troubleshooting any electrical issues that you identify.

What do I need to succeed?

You're an experienced Electrician, with either an NVQ Level 3 Qualification in a relevant subject, or a time served Apprenticeship in a relevant trade.

You're comfortable reading and working from technical electrical drawings, and have a good understanding of electrical systems and components. You're a strong communicator, with a real attention to detail, and a drive to consistently meet safety standards and regulations.
