Power vital infrastructure that helps keep the UK safe and secure.

At Babcock, we’re working to create a safe and secure world, together. If you join us, you can play your part as an Maintenance Electrician at HM Naval Base Clyde, near Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute.

This is your opportunity to join a highly skilled estates maintenance team supporting one of the UK's most important defence facilities.

• Repairing and maintaining electrical installations, including lighting systems, sockets and associated equipment.
• Working in accordance with health and safety legislation, safe systems of work and site procedures.
• Supporting continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to enhance processes, productivity and operational performance.

This role is full time, 36 hours per week, and is based on site at HM Naval Base Clyde, Faslane.

• Working with electrical systems, equipment and maintenance activities within an industrial, engineering, manufacturing, construction, defence, aviation, marine or similar environment.
• Applying electrical regulations, standards and safe working practices.
