Installation Electrician in Chorley

We’re growing, we’re expanding and it’s happening fast, so we’re on the lookout for an electrician to come on board and work on short duration commercial projects. If you join us, you’ll be responsible for owning the job from start to finish. You’ll be there at the beginning and see things through to completion, covering installation, testing and commissioning. Work may also include planned and reactive maintenance of electrics at our sites; it all depends on what the business needs. We are known for the quality of our work, so you’ll need to have extensive experience and high standards.

You may not have considered working in car park management, but why not? You’ll be joining a great team and a business with an amazing culture, backed up by our Great Place to Work certification, earned through feedback from our own employees.

As you can imagine, all these car parks aren’t in one place, so expect to be away from home up to 4 nights a week. When you are away though, we’ll provide the accommodation, plus a meal allowance, and an overnight premium paid each month. Location wise, you’ll need to be based in the Northwest of England within easy reach of our Operations Hub near Preston, so you can collect whatever you may need to carry out your work.

To help you in getting the job done we’ll provide you with a company van, fuel card, and any tools and equipment needed, as well as PPE including boots. If we think you need it to carry out the role, it’s on us. Interested? Then read on. Once you’re sure you match the essential experience and have the certs we’re looking for, send us your CV and hopefully we’ll be in touch.
