Estates Maintenance Officer (Electrical) in Stapleford

We are looking for a qualified electrician to join our friendly Estates team here at Portland Charity. This person will be able to confidently undertake planned and general electrical maintenance, diagnostics and repairs, and play a part in ensuring our campus buildings are safe and secure for our learners, citizens and staff.

The successful candidate will be experienced in reactive and preventative electrical maintenance and installation and will possess a range of practical tangential skills, with additional knowledge around CCTV, badge security systems, fire alarm, etc. During the working day, you will come into contact with Portland Charity staff, learners and citizens, therefore it is important that you have a friendly and professional approach.

Alongside day‑to‑day maintenance, diagnostics and repairs, we are also looking for someone who will play a crucial role in mentoring and developing our apprentices, so we hope to find someone with experience in mentoring, and a calm and supportive approach in sharing their knowledge and skills.

If you would like a varied role in which no two days are the same and you would like to join a dynamic and thriving team, we look forward to hearing from you. As part of our pre‑employment checks, we will be required to carry out an Enhanced DBS check.
