Approved Electrician
Contract: Full time, Permanent, PAYE
Salary: £55,000 - £60,000 (inc. overtime) + Door-to-Door Pay + Company Van + Fuel Card
Location: Colchester
We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established and growing infrastructure services business that operates across the UK, delivering critical electrical works to commercial and industrial clients, including fuel retail and petrol forecourt environments. This is a role for an electrician who takes real pride in their work, values autonomy, and wants to be part of a business that genuinely invests in the development of its people.
With realistic overtime, total earnings typically reach £55,000 - £60,000, and the business has a strong track record of supporting engineers through further qualifications, including CompEx certification if you're not already there.
The Role
You'll be working across a varied portfolio of sites carrying out electrical works for commercial and industrial clients. Day-to-day you'll largely work independently, but you'll be well-supported by a wider team of engineers, management, and support staff.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
