The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Senior Approved Electrician / Electrical Supervisor to join our growing business and take the lead on large-scale electrical projects across the Home Counties. This is a fantastic opportunity for a technically strong, commercially aware electrician who can run projects from site, lead teams effectively, and ensure work is delivered safely, efficiently, and to a high standard. The role involves supervising labour, ordering materials and plant, liaising with contractors and clients, and managing subcontractors on projects that can reach £800,000.

This role will suit someone who is more than just a good electrician — we are looking for a proven leader of teams, someone who can organise site activity, maintain standards, solve problems, and get the best out of the people around them.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Taking responsibility for the day-to-day running of electrical projects on site.
• Leading and coordinating electricians, labour and subcontractors to ensure work is carried out efficiently.
• Liaising with clients, main contractors and project managers to keep works progressing smoothly.
• Planning and managing labour, materials, plant and site resources.
• Ensuring site teams have the correct information, drawings and support needed to deliver the project.
• Maintaining high standards of workmanship, health & safety, and compliance with current regulations, toolbox talks, risk assessments and site safety responsibilities.
• Monitoring progress, solving on-site issues, and helping deliver projects on time and within budget. This aligns with the current draft’s focus on workload management, reporting and commercial awareness.
• Providing technical leadership and setting the standard for the team on site.

What We’re Looking For

• A qualified Approved Electrician with relevant electrical qualifications, such as NVQ Level 3 in Electrical Installation or equivalent.
• 18th Edition (BS7671).
• Proven experience running electrical projects, including managing labour, materials and subcontractors.
• Previous experience in a similar supervisory role on commercial or large-scale projects.
• A strong leader who can motivate teams, maintain discipline on site and drive productivity.
• Good commercial awareness and the ability to keep projects running efficiently. The original advert specifically calls for someone “commercially minded.”
• Strong communication and organisational skills.
• Full UK driving licence.

Desirable Qualifications

• 2391 / 2392 Inspection & Testing
• SMSTS / SSSTS / NEBOSH

What We Offer

• Competitive salary depending on experience.
• Company van and uniform & PPE including power tools.
• Company pension contribution.
• 20 days holiday plus bank holidays.
• Permanent role with genuine long-term career progression.
• The chance to join an established contractor with over 40 years of experience delivering electrical fit-out, maintenance, alteration and large-scale construction projects.

About Us

We are an established electrical contractor with more than 40 years of experience, delivering everything from maintenance and alterations through to large-scale electrical fit-out and turnkey installations. The current advert also describes the business as operating across commercial, renewables, maintenance and luxury residential work, with a focus on precision, reliability and high standards.
