Projects operate on 50 hours per week, working 10-hour shifts.
Job Responsibilities
- Carrying out electrical installation and wiring activities within a site team.
- Working on substation panels and associated electrical equipment.
- Reading and interpreting electrical drawings, schematics, and project documentation.
- Carrying out wiring activities in accordance with project specifications and approved procedures.
- Marking up drawings and documentation where required.
- Completing allocated task cards and installation activities within agreed timescales.
- Working alongside Chargehands, Site Supervisors, and wider site teams to deliver project requirements.
- Complying with all site health, safety, environmental, and quality procedures.
- Maintaining high standards of workmanship and ensuring work is completed to relevant industry standards.
- Identifying and communicating potential issues or delays to site management.
- Working effectively both as part of a team and independently when required.
- Supporting the safe and efficient delivery of electrical installation activities across power and infrastructure projects.
