If you’re an Electrician or Electrical Engineer who wants steady work, strong earning potential and the chance to work across well-known retail and hospitality projects, this is a strong opportunity.

You’ll be joining a long-established electrical contractor delivering installation works across retail, hospitality, commercial and multi-site rollout environments. The business has a strong directly employed engineering team, a long-standing client base and a reputation for keeping hold of good people.

Most of the work is retail fit-out, refurbishment, rollout and installation work for recognisable high-street and hospitality clients. Projects are normally planned within around an hour of where you live, although you must be willing to travel nationally when required.

This is a roving role, but it is not a permanent stay-away position. Most engineers are home most weeks, but there will be times when you may need to stay away for three, four or five days depending on the project.

You’ll be working as a mobile Electrician / Electrical Engineer, carrying out electrical installation works across retail and commercial sites.

The work is expected to include fast-track fit-outs, retail refurbishments, lighting, power, containment, small works, electrical modifications, distribution, final connections, remedials and general installation support.

You’ll be trusted to work to a high standard, represent the business professionally on client sites and help deliver projects safely, quickly and properly.

The company guarantees 37.5 hours, but most engineers voluntarily work higher hours. It is common for engineers to work between 50 and 80 hours a week, depending on workload, travel, programme and project requirements.

At £24.85 per hour, with 33 days’ holiday paid at 7.5 hours per day, that gives a rough annual earning range of approximately £62,500 to £96,400 before tax, based on 50 to 80 hours per week during working weeks.

Lodge allowance is paid where applicable through the JIB and claimed weekly alongside weekly pay.
