About the Company

With over a decade in the industry and a highly experienced team of qualified electricians, fitters, and engineers, they deliver substation builds, extensions, and cable route projects for major clients including National Grid and SSEN.
The business is on a clear growth trajectory and is currently working towards achieving Tier 1 contractor status - this is a pivotal moment to join and help shape that journey.
