About the Role
Equans, a leader in sustainable facilities management and energy/digital services, is hiring a Static Technical Operative (Multiskilled) to deliver low-voltage electrical maintenance, installation, and general facilities management (FM) support for the HMCTS (HM Courts & Tribunals Service).
