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.
Responsibilities
Carry out construction, maintenance, and fault repair work on 33kV/132kV plant and equipment.
Install, inspect, and maintain electrical components including switches, isolators, circuit breakers, batteries, transformers, and protection systems.
Operate safely in accordance with Health & Safety legislation, company codes of practice, and, where applicable, CDM regulations.
Support the delivery of works in compliance with operational standards and required timeframes.
Participate in 24-hour standby rotas as part of emergency response readiness.
Liaise with team members and engineers to ensure seamless execution of field operations.
What we require from you
Proven fitting craft skills (essential).
Recognised Craft Apprenticeship or Vocational Training (minimum NVQ Level 3) (essential).
Operational authorisations for high-voltage work
Working knowledge of safe working practices and risk assessments
Experience with high-voltage systems and substation equipment
Good understanding of Health & Safety legislation and personal responsibilities
Solid understanding of the electricity infrastructure and network operations (essential).
Ability to work independently and under pressure to meet business and regulatory targets.
Strong teamwork, flexibility, and interpersonal skills (essential).
Proficiency in MS Office applications (desirable).
Full UK driving licence (Category B essential)
If you are ready to put your quick thinking to the test, we’d love to hear from you.
