As an Electrician within OCU’s Water sector, you will be responsible for the installation, maintenance, testing, and commissioning of electrical systems across wastewater treatment facilities and associated infrastructure projects.

We are looking for qualified Electricians with previous experience working within industrial, water, or wastewater environments. Experience delivering wastewater treatment projects is essential, alongside a strong understanding of industrial electrical installations and maintenance activities.

You should hold relevant electrical qualifications including 18th Edition certification, ECS or CSCS card, and Inspection & Testing qualifications. SSSTS and First Aid at Work certifications would also be beneficial.

Candidates should be confident using hand and power tools, interpreting electrical drawings, carrying out installations, and supporting testing and fault‑finding activities within operational environments.

A strong commitment to safety, quality workmanship, and teamwork is essential for this role.
