Electrical Shift Lead – Critical Building Services

Want to work at one of the UK's most recognisable venues?

We're recruiting an experienced Electrical Shift Lead to join the engineering team responsible for maintaining a major landmark stadium in Wembley.

This is a large, technically demanding, 24/7 environment hosting some of the biggest sporting and entertainment events in the country.

You'll take responsibility for the electrical operation of the building during your shift, leading engineers, dealing with technical escalations and ensuring critical electrical and M&E systems remain safe, compliant and operational.

If you're a technically strong electrician with the experience and capability to lead a shift, the business is prepared to provide the necessary HV training and development.

The Shift Pattern

Your normal rota will be:

4 on, 4 off, 6 on, 4 off, 4 on, 6 off

Working a combination of:

Days: 07:00 - 19:00
Nights: 19:00 - 07:00

There are also regular overtime opportunities.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll be the senior electrical presence on your shift and the person engineers turn to when technical issues arise.

Responsibilities will include:

Leading electrical engineering activity across the shift
Providing technical support and guidance to electricians, engineers and apprentices
Managing planned and reactive electrical maintenance
Responding to faults, incidents and technical escalations
Monitoring building and plant performance through BMS systems
Ensuring PPM and reactive work is completed within SLA
Managing electrical isolations and safe systems of work
Issuing and controlling permits where appropriately authorised
Supporting emergency response and incident management
Supervising specialist contractors
Ensuring statutory compliance and engineering standards are maintained
Maintaining accurate shift logs and technical documentation
Supporting continuous improvement and energy-efficiency initiatives
Working closely with other shift leads and the wider technical management team

This isn't simply an electrician position with a Lead title.

You'll need to be comfortable being the go-to technical person on shift , diagnosing problems, making decisions and supporting less experienced engineers.

What We're Looking For

You'll need:

NVQ / City & Guilds Level 3 Electrical Installation or equivalent
18th Edition Wiring Regulations
Strong commercial electrical maintenance experience
Excellent fault-finding and diagnostic ability
Experience working with large building electrical systems
Experience supporting or leading other engineers
Good understanding of BMS and associated building controls
Strong Health & Safety and safe-isolation knowledge
The confidence to make technical decisions during a shift
Good communication and leadership skills

We're keen to hear from experienced electrical engineers and electrical shift leads who have worked around HV systems but haven't yet obtained full HVAP status.

For the right person, training and certification can be provided .

Ideal Background

Candidates could currently be working as:

Experience within any of the following would be particularly relevant:

Large commercial buildings
Stadiums or major venues
Hospitals
Airports
Data centres
Critical environments
Large corporate estates
24/7 engineering operations

Data-centre experience is absolutely relevant, but this role needs someone who is interested in the wider building-services environment rather than someone who only wants to remain within data centres.

Why Consider It?

There aren't many electrical maintenance jobs where you can genuinely say you're responsible for helping keep one of Britain's most famous buildings operational.

You'll get:

Salary up to £60,000
Regular overtime opportunities
Continental shift pattern with substantial periods away from work
Private Medical Insurance
Pension with employer contribution
Life Assurance
Sick Pay
Personal Wellbeing and Volunteer Days
Hybrid / Electric Vehicle salary-sacrifice scheme
Employee Assistance Programme
Flexible benefits including dental insurance, gym membership, travel insurance and Cycle to Work
Fully supported technical training and development
Opportunity to gain HV Authorised Person qualifications
Long-term career opportunities within a major UK engineering and facilities-services organisation

Interested?

If you're a strong commercial electrician or electrical shift engineer ready to take genuine technical responsibility for a shift, we'd like to hear from you.

Existing HVAP status is desirable, but don't rule yourself out if you haven't got it.

If you've got the electrical knowledge, leadership ability and the right attitude, the technical training can be provided.
