Maintain and enhance the critical systems that keep our network running safely
As a Network Technician (E&I) for Cadent, you’ll play a key role in maintaining, repairing and improving the systems that support Cadent’s gas transportation network. You won't just fix faults and issues, you'll be ensuring our Electrical & Instrumentation (E&I) assets operate safely, reliably and efficiently across the network.
This role is 42 hours a week, based in our West Midlands Network and working within our Safety and Engineering directorate. You’ll support both routine and non-routine activities, including fault finding, repairs and system modifications. You’ll be hands-on in the field, helping to keep essential infrastructure running while supporting wider operational performance and safety.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced technician looking for variety, responsibility and the chance to make a visible impact in a safety-critical environment. The role involves regular travel, so a full UK driving licence is essential.
What you'll bring
- Asset Health & Assurance – Assess and report on the condition of E&I equipment, ensuring systems remain safe and operational.
- Maintenance & Repair – Carry out maintenance, fault finding and repairs across instrumentation and electrical assets.
- Timely Delivery – Complete work efficiently and in line with statutory and operational requirements.
- Standby Support – Participate in an E&I standby rota to support network performance and service continuity.
- Contractor Oversight – Supervise contractors and third parties, ensuring safe, high-quality work delivery.
- Operational Support – Support non-routine activities and system modifications across the network.
- Team Collaboration – Build strong working relationships across Cadent teams and operational functions.

- Regulatory Awareness – Knowledge of relevant legislation and standards (e.g. BS7671, EAWR, Health & Safety at Work Act).
- Standards & Compliance – Familiarity with engineering instructions, codes of practice and statutory regulations.
- Electrical Qualifications – Electrical testing and inspection qualification (C&G 2391 or equivalent), or a recognised electrical/instrumentation qualification or apprenticeship. COMPEX Certification – EX01–04 desirable but not essential.
