  * Recognised electrical qualifications, including:

      * NVQ Level 3 in Electrical Installation (or equivalent) with AM2 / AM2E

      * 18th Edition Wiring Regulations

      * Inspection & Testing qualification (e.g. 2391 or 2395)

  * Strong working knowledge of building regulations, NICEIC standards and health & safety legislation

  * Ability to work independently and manage workloads effectively

  * Excellent communication and customer‑focused approach

  * Willingness to participate in out‑of‑hours and emergency rotas

  * Full UK driving licence

What We Offer

  * Competitive salary

  * Company van, tools, uniform, fuel card and mobile device

  * Generous annual leave entitlement plus additional benefits

  * Pension scheme and life assurance

  * Ongoing training and development opportunities

  * The chance to make a real difference to residents’ lives
