Enerveo is one of the UK’s leading Highways Electrical contractors, delivering full-service street lighting and highway electrical solutions for local authorities and infrastructure partners. With expertise in lighting design, installation, project management, maintenance and the integration of smart technologies, we manage over one million street lights across the UK and help towns and cities become safer, smarter, greener and more efficient
Could you be our next Highways Lighting Operative to join the team and drive this success forwards?
In this role, you’ll play an important part in a team responsible for keeping Dorset’s roads safe, well lit and operating as they should.
Your work will be a mix of planned and reactive maintenance, so no two days are likely to be exactly the same. You’ll help respond to issues as they arise while also carrying out scheduled works to keep the network in good condition. The work you do will directly support our commitments to our clients and the communities we serve, making a real difference to the safety, reliability and experience of road users every day.
In a typical day you might be;
- Maintaining our streetlighting infrastructure, including streetlights, illuminated signs and subways, carrying out lamp changes, visual inspections and testing.
- Working alongside teams responsible for electrical connections and installations for new streetlighting infrastructure.
- Carrying out fault diagnosis, repairs and maintenance to identify and resolve issues efficiently.
- Operating mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs) safely and effectively where required.
- Providing an excellent level of service to our clients, customers and members of the public, representing Enerveo professionally at all times.
- Working in accordance with strict health, safety and environmental standards, policies, procedures and relevant legislation.
- Following safe systems of work and ensuring all activities are completed safely, efficiently and to the required standard.
- Working collaboratively with colleagues, clients and other contractors to ensure works are delivered on time and with minimal disruption.
