Electrician in Burton upon Trent

Electrician

Location: Burton upon Trent and surrounding areas

Salary - basic up to £40,000 per annum

Let’s be real — this isn’t a “swap a socket and clock off” kind of role.

We’re looking for a skilled electrician who thrives on keeping systems safe, reliable, and fully compliant — but who’s equally comfortable getting stuck into full property refurbishments. From testing and fault-finding to complete rewires, this role offers real variety and the chance to see jobs through from start to finish.

At ECS, we’re a multi-award-winning compliance and maintenance team working across social housing, public sector sites, and commercial properties. Partnering with Nottingham City Council, you’ll play a key role in bringing void properties back up to standard — safely, efficiently, and ready for new tenants.

Why this job might be your next move

• £38,000 to £40,000 DOE, plus benefits and a company vehicle (your mobile workshop)
• Be part of a team delivering essential works across local communities
• A varied role — not just testing, but upgrades, rewires, and property turnaround works
• Work in void social housing properties, where your impact is immediate and visible
• Use modern tools and systems that make your job smoother and more efficient
• Join a supportive team with real opportunities to grow and develop your skills

What you’ll be doing

• Carrying out a range of electrical works within void properties, preparing homes for reoccupation
• Conducting Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) across residential properties
• Diagnosing and repairing faults (C1s and C2s) — not just identifying issues, but resolving them on-site
• Delivering upgrade works, property adaptations, and full rewires where required
• Completing remedial works, including emergency lighting, circuit repairs, and component replacements
• Issuing Electrical Installation Certificates (EICs) and ensuring full compliance with regulations
• Working as part of a team to meet programme deadlines while maintaining high standards
• Managing your own schedule across sites within a local radius

What we’re looking for

• NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Electrical Installation
• 18th Edition qualified
• Inspection & Testing certification (2391 / 2394 / 2395 / 2391-52 or EAL equivalent)
• Proven experience in social housing, voids, or similar environments
• Experience with rewires, upgrades, and property turnaround works
• A proactive, quality-focused approach — you take pride in getting it right first time
• Strong communication skills — professional and clear
• A safety-first mindset, always

If you’re looking for a hands‑on role where no two days are the same — and where your work directly improves homes and communities — we’d love to hear from you.
