Location: Across London and surrounding areas

Salary: Competitive / Negotiable (depending on experience)

Role:

• Carry out fault-finding, maintenance, and reactive repairs on residential single- phase systems, responding to emergency breakdown calls when required.

• Read, interpret, and work accurately from residential architectural plans, wiring schematics, and job schedules.

• Maintain a clean, hazard-free working area inside occupied or empty properties, communicate professionally with residents, and strictly adhere to all health and safety guidelines, RAMS, and protective equipment regulations.

Requirements

• Proven experience working as an Electrician within domestic or residential environments (occupied housing, new-build housing, or domestic extensions).

• A valid ECS Gold Card or relevant JIB registration is highly preferred for site-based work.

• Certifications: Must hold 18th Edition (BS 7671) regulations. Level 3 NVQ in Electrical Installations (or equivalent domestic installer certifications like NICEIC/NAPIT registration) is required.

• Health & Safety: A full and thorough understanding of on-site health and safety regulations, including Safe Isolation procedures (LOTO), working safely in domestic lofts/confined spaces, asbestos awareness, and proper use of PPE.

• Testing (Desirable): C&G 2391 or 2394/2395 in Inspection and Testing (for completing EICRs and domestic certificates) is highly advantageous.

• Tools: Possession of your own comprehensive set of hand tools, cordless power tools (including chasing tools), and calibrated test equipment.
