About Us
Redbridge Facilities Management maintains over 600 properties — schools, offices, community centres, and public buildings — across the borough. We keep our estates safe, warm, and in good repair. We’re seeking a practical, qualified, and versatile technician with strong electrical expertise to join our responsive maintenance team.
The Role
You will carry out planned and reactive repairs, maintenance, and minor improvements across Redbridge’s property portfolio.
Electrical work is your core strength, but you will also confidently handle general building, plumbing, heating, and carpentry tasks. You’ll work independently and as part of a team, delivering high-quality work to residents, schools, and staff.
Key Responsibilities:
- Carry out electrical installations, repairs, testing, and fault-finding — including lighting, power, circuits, consumer units, and fixed wiring
- Complete multi-trade tasks: basic plumbing, heating, joinery, plastering, and general building repairs
- Attend emergency call-outs (shared rota) — electrical faults, safety issues, and urgent repairs
- Inspect, test, and maintain electrical systems; complete periodic checks and certificates
- Diagnose faults accurately; specify and carry out repairs efficiently and safely
- Record all work digitally — log jobs, materials used, time taken, and upload photos via our mobile system
- Work to strict health & safety standards, wiring regulations (BS 7671), and council policies
- Liaise directly with residents, tenants, and site staff — explain work clearly and courteously
- Support planned maintenance programmes and minor improvement projects
