We are a leading regional housing provider dedicated to delivering high-quality, safe, and comfortable homes across our communities. We are looking for a qualified, customer-focused Electrician to join our direct maintenance team, carrying out essential electrical repairs, testing, and safety upgrades across our residents' homes.

In this role, you will play a vital part in our wider Safer Homes programme. Beyond standard electrical repairs, a key focus will be helping us create healthier living environments for our residents by installing, repairing, and maintaining modern ventilation systems-directly supporting our ongoing damp, mould, and condensation reduction initiatives.

What You'll Be Doing

Electrical Repairs & Installs: Diagnose and repair electrical faults, execute remedial works, consumer unit replacements, and general safety upgrades in occupied domestic properties.

Testing & Compliance: Carry out electrical testing, inspections, and issue accurate certification via your mobile device.

Ventilation & Healthy Homes: Install, maintain, and repair domestic ventilation systems, including extractor fans and Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) units, to combat damp, mould, and condensation.

Resident Service: Work closely with residents in their homes, keeping them informed and reassured throughout the work while treating every property with respect and care.

What We're Looking For

Trade Qualification: NVQ Level 3 / AM2 (or equivalent trade qualification).

Testing & Inspection: City & Guilds 2391 (or 2394/2395 equivalent).

Wiring Regulations: Current 18th Edition BS7671 qualification.

Licence: Full UK driving licence.

Experience & Mindset: Background in social housing or experience with domestic ventilation systems (PIV / extractor fans) is advantageous, but what matters most is your problem-solving ability, high standards of workmanship, and strong customer-first attitude.

What We Offer

We ensure you are fully equipped from day one, providing a fully fitted company van, fuel card, tablet, mobile phone, and full PPE.

You will also receive a premier benefits package:

Holiday Allowance: 28 days annual leave + option to buy and sell leave.

Pension Scheme: Exceptional employer contributions of up to 10%.

Life Assurance: Cover at 5x your annual salary.

Family Support: Generous, family-friendly and parental leave policies.

Health & Wellbeing: Comprehensive health support packages and wellbeing resources.

Career Growth: Clear opportunities to learn, develop, and progress your technical skills.
