Low Voltage Authorised Person (LVAP) – Mobile Services Engineer
Location: Washington, Tyne & Wear (covering sites across the North East)
We're looking for an experienced Low Voltage Authorised Person (LVAP) to join our Northern Regional Team.
This is a mobile, hands-on engineering role for an electrically qualified professional with experience working within NHS hospitals, healthcare estates or other critical environments. You'll be responsible for the safe operation, maintenance and isolation of low voltage electrical systems, ensuring statutory compliance while delivering an exceptional maintenance service across a portfolio of client sites.
If you're an LVAP who enjoys fault finding, carrying out maintenance and being part of a skilled engineering team, we'd love to hear from you.
The Role
Working across multiple healthcare and commercial sites, you'll undertake planned preventative maintenance (PPM), reactive maintenance, electrical fault diagnosis and minor installation works, whilst acting as the site's Low Voltage Authorised Person where required.
This is a hands-on engineering role with participation in the on-call rota, making it ideal for someone who enjoys remaining technically involved rather than moving into management.
