Lead. Deliver. Improve.
Do you have the operational leadership, commercial awareness, and technical expertise to drive one of Nottinghamshire's largest highway electrical services?
We are looking for an experienced and ambitious Electrical Manager to take ownership of a diverse and high-profile portfolio covering street lighting, independent connection provider (ICP) works, capital projects, and highway electrical infrastructure across Nottinghamshire. This role reports directly to Electrical Service Delivery Manager and plays a pivotal role in shaping service delivery, driving performance, and leading operational excellence.
This is not a traditional maintenance management role.
You will be responsible for delivering a complex operational service, leading multiple workstreams, managing significant programmes of work, and ensuring exceptional standards of safety, quality, customer service, and commercial performance.
