The Opportunity
We are currently recruiting experienced Electricians with Category 2 & 3 DNO authorisation to join a major, long-term programme of works for a leading UK electricity network operator.
This is an excellent opportunity to join the project at the start of a major national rollout, with the initial phase commencing across the South of England before expanding to cover distribution network assets throughout Great Britain.
The programme will involve the installation, testing and commissioning of LV/MV monitoring equipment across transformer and distribution network sites, supporting the ongoing development and modernisation of the electricity network.
The Role
Working as part of a dedicated project team, you will carry out electrical works associated with the installation and commissioning of monitoring equipment on LV/MV distribution network assets.
You will be expected to work safely and professionally both independently and alongside other engineers and site personnel, ensuring all works are delivered to the required technical, safety and quality standards.
