Are you an experienced Electrician looking for a more structured, less pressured working environment where you can enjoy a better work-life balance without losing the hands-on nature of your role?

Do you want to work Monday to Friday, 8:00am-4:00pm, in a role where you can still use your technical skills but enjoy a better work-life balance, less stress and a more organised working environment?

This is a rare opportunity to join a leading education establishment with a large, varied and impressive estate, offering a completely different environment to traditional commercial or site-based work. Spread across multiple campuses and specialist buildings, the work is varied and interesting, but without the constant pressure, unrealistic deadlines and profit-driven culture that many electricians are looking to leave behind.

The organisation has built a strong reputation for looking after its staff, investing in training and creating genuine long-term careers. This is the kind of role that suits an experienced electrician who wants stability, structure and a better quality of life, while still remaining hands-on in a professional and highly respected environment.

You will be working across a broad estate of academic, commercial and specialist buildings, carrying out a mix of maintenance, fault finding, repair and installation work. The role also involves supporting the upkeep of key electrical systems, working with contractors and helping to maintain a safe, efficient and well-run estate.
This role would suit a qualified electrician who wants to move into a more balanced and secure position, with variety in the work, a strong team around them and the chance to build a long-term career in a high-quality environment.

In return, you will benefit from a days-based role working 8:00am-4:00pm Monday to Friday, alongside an outstanding package that includes 42 days holiday, an excellent pension, overtime, call-out payments, funded training and clear progression opportunities. The wider team culture is collaborative and supportive, and there are real examples of people progressing within the estates function over time.
