📍 London & South East (with occasional UK travel)
Join a brilliant team doing quality work, properly.
We’re looking for a Gold Card Electrician who takes real pride in their work, loves solving problems, and wants to be part of a driven, friendly, high-performing team. This is a mobile role with a great mix of work — from fault finding and maintenance to projects and small works, mainly across commercial sites in London and the South East. Every now and then, you’ll travel further afield for larger projects (with paid accommodation + bonuses).
If you’re the kind of electrician who spots problems before they become issues, works to a high standard without cutting corners, and enjoys being trusted to crack on — you’ll fit right in.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll work both independently and alongside a strong team, supported remotely by our Chelmsford office, delivering excellent service to our commercial clients.
✅ Electrical maintenance, installation, repairs & testing
✅ Project work
✅ Fault finding and reactive callouts
✅ Planned works & small projects
✅ EICRs
✅ Emergency Lighting
✅ Inspection & testing
✅ Keeping clear, accurate paperwork and records
✅ Advising clients and colleagues on safety and compliance
✅ Working to high standards in line with regulations and best practice
✅ Maintaining excellent H&S standards (RAMS, DRAs and site paperwork)
What we’re looking for
We want someone who genuinely cares about doing the job right — someone who brings skill, calm confidence, and a solution-focused mindset.
You’ll need:
⭐ Approved Electrician Gold Card
⭐ NVQ Level 3 Electrotechnical Qualification
⭐ AM2 + Testing & Inspection
⭐ 18th Edition
⭐ 10+ years’ time-served electrical experience

You’ll be someone who is:
✔ Detail-focused and quality-driven
✔ Professional, friendly, and customer-minded
✔ A self-starter who’s proactive and organised
✔ Happy travelling across London and surrounding counties (lots of driving!)
✔ Comfortable with occasional UK travel & staying away (bonuses + accommodation paid)
✔ Open to working nights/weekends on a rota (overtime paid)
✔ Willing to join a callout rota when required
✔ Keen to learn, upskill and progress
The kind of environment you’ll thrive in.
We’re a small, close-knit team — all hands on deck, everyone pulls their weight, and good work gets noticed. We welcome people who bring ideas, speak up, and want to contribute to a growing business.
If you want a role where you’re not just a number, where you can genuinely make a difference, this one’s for you.
What you’ll get:
🎯 Competitive salary + strong earning potential
🏖 25 days holiday + bank holidays
