• Carry out planned and reactive electrical maintenance, including inspections, testing, fault-finding, repairs and replacement of electrical equipment and EV charging infrastructure.
• Deliver small works projects from start to finish, coordinating site surveys, materials, installations, specialist subcontractors and customer handovers.
• Support a variety of additional works, including water-efficiency measures, water butt installations, minor civils and asset replacements.
• Identify and resolve technical issues, recommending remedial works and asset improvements.
• Maintain accurate records and documentation, including job reports, test results, photographs, customer sign-offs and relevant safety information.
• Build positive customer relationships, communicating effectively with site contacts and internal teams.
• You may also participate in an agreed call-out or emergency-response rota if introduced for your region.
