Electrical Facilities Officer (Higher Education Institution)

I am currently working with a prestigious Higher Education organisation in Central London to recruit an experienced Electrical Facilities Officer to join their established on-site team. This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly respected institution offering a stable, long-term career within a unique and attractive estate.

The successful candidate will be responsible for maintaining and improving electrical services across a busy, customer-focused campus, ensuring a safe and high-quality environment for staff, students, and visitors.

To be considered for this role, you should have:

• At least 5 years' experience as a fully qualified Electrician
• Experience gained within complex, customer-facing environments such as higher education, healthcare, hospitality, corporate headquarters, cultural institutions, conference venues, or similarly large-scale multi-stakeholder estates
• A stable employment history with evidence of long-term commitment to employers
• A consistent career track record demonstrating loyalty and longevity within organisations

Please note: Candidates whose experience has been primarily focused on residential property, domestic maintenance, or installation-led environments are unlikely to be a suitable fit for this opportunity.

You will bring electrical maintenance expertise, operating across campus, responding to emergencies, and proactively improving facilities. You will play a key role in ensuring electrical systems are maintained to a high standard while supporting the wider Facilities team in delivering an excellent service.

• Complete electrical maintenance activities around campus, from responding to breakdowns to completing planned maintenance work
• Repair and maintain electrical systems
• Maintain and repair a full range of electrical items
• Carry out general electrical inspections and repairs
• Undertake planned preventative maintenance inspections and associated works
• Deliver a high quality of finished workmanship
• Ensure work requests are completed and signed off within the required time period

• Conduct operational tasks in accordance with defined policies, procedures and instructions to ensure the delivery of a first-class service to all stakeholders
• Draft and develop standard materials, working to a clear brief, for use in the provision of an effective and efficient support service
• Provide support to colleagues within and outside the team as opportunities arise, promoting collaborative working across the organisation

• Construct and fix new items including shelves, worktops, notice boards, partitions and new doors
• Provide ad hoc support, including carpentry work and the installation of fixtures and fittings, to small projects in support of project planning and implementation
• Demonstrate flexibility to undertake minor works and repairs to flooring, suspended ceilings, minor plumbing, wall tiling and painting where required

• Operate manual or computerised record-keeping control systems
• Proactively review relevant processes within your area of work and make suggestions to improve efficiency

Please note that the responsibilities listed above are not exhaustive, and the successful candidate will be expected to be flexible and supportive of the wider needs of the department and organisation.

This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced commercial electrician seeking a stable position within a prestigious institution and a complex operational environment. For immediate consideration, please submit your CV today. Interviews will be arranged promptly for suitable applicants.
