This position ensures that all electrical infrastructure is safe to operate, reliable, and fully compliant with relevant legislative and regulatory standards.

With a strong background in electrical engineering and qualifications to HNC level or higher, you’ll bring proven experience and a commitment to delivering high-quality engineering solutions within a complex maritime environment. Also, your expertise will support the integrity of power distribution networks, control systems, and critical electrical assets that underpin operational capability across the site.

You’ll take ownership of technical challenges, oversee the acceptance and commissioning of electrical components in infrastructure projects, and ensure alignment with design intent and operational requirements. Furthermore, your responsibilities will include supporting the development of safety management systems for designated electrical asset groups, strategic infrastructure planning, and contributing to business improvement initiatives.

We’re looking for someone who can maintain a systems-level perspective while also understanding the detail behind electrical component design and investigative rationale. You’ll have a good understanding of statutory and regulatory electrical compliance and be capable of safely meeting operational demands across all areas of Portsmouth Naval Base. A working knowledge of electrical systems used in an industrial environment is highly beneficial, alongside solid expertise in power distribution, control systems, and rotating electrical machinery

By seeing the bigger picture, you’ll be able to understand the wider strategic goals. Your decision-making will be considered within your limits of authority, and you will be expected to elevate for direction as appropriate. You will have a solid grounding in electrical engineering and be able to support colleagues in resolving complex technical challenges, contributing to a collaborative and solutions-focused environment.

Good communication and influencing skills are highly desirable where you’ll establish clear communication routes, actively listen, provide and seek feedback. As a customer-facing role, you’ll be comfortable engaging with stakeholders and representing the organisation with credibility.
