- 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.
What you’ll bring:
- E&I Experience – Experience working in an Electrical & Instrumentation environment, including installation, maintenance and fault finding.
- Technical Knowledge – Strong understanding of electrical/instrumentation drawings, procedures and technical documentation.
- 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.
