Lead Electrician — Rewires, Refurbishments & Commercial Fit-Outs
Future Energy Services (FES) | Work in Surrey, London & the South of England | Subcontract with a clear route to employment
About Us
Future Energy Services is an electrical contracting business on the move, based in Surrey, working across London and the South of England, and growing fast. Our core work is domestic rewires, both occupied and unoccupied, alongside major refurbishment projects and an expanding book of developer and main contractor work.
We built FES around one idea: too many contractors are putting in noncompliant, corner-cut installs and getting away with it. We call our approach the Future Standard, installs done properly, to a standard that actually lasts a lifetime, not just to whatever scrapes past inspection. That’s what’s winning us repeat clients, and it’s what’s driving the growth into refurbishments, commercial fit-outs, and developer relationships.
This is a genuinely exciting time to join. We’re not a big faceless outfit, you’ll have real ownership, real variety, and a direct say in how the standard gets set.
The Role
We’re looking for a qualified electrician ready to step up and run the tools-side of the business. You’ll take full ownership of domestic rewires, occupied and unoccupied, major refurbishments, and commercial fit-out work, start to finish, delivered to the Future Standard.
We need someone we can trust to run a job properly without hand-holding, whether that’s a rewire in someone’s home or a fit-out on a live commercial site.

How This Role Works
This role starts on a subcontract basis. You’ll invoice under CIS, work to agreed day rates or priced work, and operate as your own business alongside ours.
