Looking for a role where your work will be recognised and your skills enhanced?
My clients is an industry specialist, not a giant. They design, install and run condition monitoring across the UK electricity network. Partial discharge, circuit breaker monitoring, SF6 gas density, transformer DGA. When a substation stays up instead of going dark, that is the kit doing its job.
In the business you'll know everyone, your work will be visible, and there's a genuine route to becoming the technical lead in a growing niche fro the right person. They are ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 accredited, Achilles UVDB Silver Plus verified, and we hold a Silver Award Armed Forces Covenant accreditation from the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme. We train properly and we promote from within.
What you would actually be doing
- Installing new condition monitoring systems, including subsystems and comms, inside live HV compounds
- Partial discharge (PD) monitors, circuit breaker condition monitoring, SF6 gas density monitoring, transformer dissolved gas analysers
- Site surveys and electrical testing
- Removing and relocating existing systems
- Corrective maintenance when something needs sorted
- Looking after spares and service equipment back at base
