Electrical Site Manager

Electrical Site Manager

London | Secure Estate / Prison | Contract

Up to £335 per day (depending on experience) + staying away allowance

Our client is a well-regarded M&E specialist with a strong track record delivering complex refurbishment and new-build projects across the secure estate. They run structured delivery teams with clear reporting lines and solid on‑site support, and they're now looking for an experienced Electrical Site Manager to lead electrical delivery on a live MEP package.

You’ll take ownership of electrical supervision on site — managing subcontract labour, driving quality and programme, and keeping everything compliant in a secure, controlled‑access environment.

• Run electrical supervision on site: labour, sequencing, access constraints, permits, and short-interval planning.
• Manage subcontract electricians and specialist vendors (containment, cabling, termination, lighting, testing/commissioning support).
• Own H&S: RAMS, permits, daily briefings, toolbox talks, safe systems of work in a secure environment, and close-out of actions.
• Drive quality control: benchmarks, ITPs, inspections, snag management, and “right-first-time” installs.
• Coordinate with the wider project team on programme and interfaces (M&E coordination, builders work, ceilings/walls, penetrations, containment routes).
• Control materials and logistics, including receipt, issue and storage of client-supplied major equipment and cable.
• Keep tight records: daily diaries, progress reporting, labour returns, QA packs, as-builts and handover support.

• Proven experience as an Electrical Site Manager / Supervisor delivering MEP projects, ideally within secure, live or controlled-access environments.
• Strong electrical installation knowledge: containment, distribution, lighting, small power, testing coordination and commissioning readiness.
• SSSTS or SMSTS (SSSTS minimum).
• ECS/JIB card (or equivalent trade background) — HNC/HND useful but not essential.
• Comfortable running subcontract labour, managing interfaces, and pushing programme without sacrificing quality.
• Able to pass the relevant security / vetting requirements for a prison environment.

This is a chance to take real ownership of electrical delivery on a proper secure-estate programme — a strong day rate, a long run of work, and a structured team behind you.
