Operating with a high degree of autonomy and as a critical leader within a multi-disciplinary team, you will serve as the definitive technical authority on site for all hazardous area compliance. We are actively looking for a seasoned professional who views electrical safety not merely as a compliance checklist, but as a core, non‑negotiable engineering philosophy.

- Safe Systems of Work: Safely execute high‑stakes electrical isolations, manage stringent Permit to Work systems, and generate highly detailed, site‑specific Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) prior to any operational commencement.
- Infrastructure Integration: Carry out control panel manufacture and modification, fluently interpreting, updating, and calibrating complex electrical schematics and site drawings.
- Site Leadership: Act as a decisive leader on site, communicating effectively with site management and client representatives, delegating tasks safely to supporting trades, and highlighting any health and safety anomalies with immediate, uncompromising authority.
Essential Certification: An active, valid CompEx Ex01-Ex04 Certificate of Core Competence is strictly required.
Core Qualifications: Time‑served SJIB/JIB Approved Electrician or Technician status, possessing an NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Electrotechnical Services, alongside the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS7671).
Demonstrable Experience: Proven, extensive industrial experience working within the fuel distribution, utility, petrochemical, or defence sectors with a deep, practical understanding of ATEX directives and thermodynamic fault conditions. A full, clean UK Driving Licence is absolutely essential due to the continuous field‑based nature of the role across Scotland.
