Electrician in Warrington

This is an exciting opportunity for an Electrician to join Your Housing Group's Repairs and Maintenance Division and provide a high-quality electrical repair and replacement service throughout Warrington and the surrounding areas.

Working for a Housing Association can be extremely rewarding, and we are lucky to have a hugely collaborative team of skilled operatives, throughout all Trade professions, who work together to ensure that our customers are safe and warm in their homes.

If you would like to play a part in this talented and committed team, then it’s a great time to come and get involved as the team is growing and evolving.

Ideally, you will live within or close to your regional area of work (Warrington) and be based within a reasonable travelling distance of our Head Office in Birchwood, Warrington to attend meetings and training courses when needed.

First and foremost, working as part of the Electrical team within our responsive repairs division, you will undertake inspections, testing, certification, and any associated remedial works within both void and occupied properties. You’ll be performing a vital electrician role inside these properties ensuring that all electrical works required are completed to the highest standards. You will be confident and capable, ensuring all work undertaken is completed with due regard for quality, productivity, and safety.

Our organisation is all about people, especially the people who live in our homes and the communities that we serve and deliver excellent customer service too, so ideally you will be personable, professional, and able to understand the differing needs of the customers in our communities, tailoring your approach to meet that requirement to deliver a bespoke service.

One of the great things about this role is the variety! No two days are the same and if you are someone that strives for customer excellence, this can be an extremely rewarding role.

To be successful as an electrician, here at YHG, you will have:

• NVQ Level 3 or equivalent recognised competency/qualification within the electrical field
• City and Guilds Inspection and Testing (G&G: 2391 or equivalent)
• BS: 7671 18th Edition or currently in the process of achieving 18th
• Experience of fault-finding installations and repairs
• Experience of working as an electrician within the housing sector would be of real interest
• Basic health and safety knowledge in a repair’s environment
• A full UK Driving License (ideally no more than 6 points)

Ideally you will be:

• A collaborative team player
• A keen problem solver
• Passionate about right first time and delivering a quality service

This role also offers genuine progression opportunities, many of our Skilled operatives go on to gain further qualifications or take up team leader, Inspector, supervisory or secondment roles internally when they arise.

In return we offer £37,500.00 to £38,907.75 for a 40-hour week, and 22 days annual leave, plus 3 discretionary days between Christmas & New Year, plus Bank Holidays (holidays also increase with length of service) but our employee offering provides much more than just a competitive salary and holiday allowance.

On top of this, we’ll provide you with a great benefits package, including a contributory pension where we match whatever you choose to contribute (up to 8 %), an advanced level Healthcare cash plan through Medicash, that doesn’t just provide dental and optician cashback, but also health and wellbeing benefits (such as 24/7 GP Access, money back from prescriptions and alternative therapy treatments) and an amazing discount scheme that gives you access to half price cinema tickets and a huge range of discounts with some of the biggest high street and online names.
