East Kent (CT postcodes) · Self-employed / subcontract
About the role
We're an established heating and plumbing company adding electrical services to what we offer our customers, and we're looking for a qualified electrician to work with us on a subcontract basis over the coming months. If it works well for both sides, there's a genuine route to a full-time employed position as we build the electrical side of the business.
This isn't a case of joining a job board queue. You'd be working from our existing customer base across Deal, Dover, Sandwich, Canterbury and the surrounding CT postcodes — homeowners and landlords who already know and trust us. The work is there; we need the right person to do it.
About us
We've been looking after homes in East Kent for over 25 years, and we've built our reputation by turning up when we say we will and doing the job properly. We run a modern operation — jobs scheduled and managed through our field service software, an office team that answers the phone, and no chasing customers for payment yourself.
What you'll be doing
- Electrical installation condition reports (EICRs) for homeowners and landlords
- Consumer unit replacements and remedial works
- Fault-finding and repairs
- Electrical work supporting our heating installations, including smart controls and wiring
- General domestic electrical work for our existing customers
How the work is paid
- £40 per hour, labour only, paid on quoted hours per job — not open-ended clock time
- A flat fee for diagnostic and fault-finding visits
- Materials supplied or reimbursed — agreed per job
- Regular, reliable pipeline of work booked and scheduled for you by our office
- Prompt payment on agreed terms
What we're looking for
You'll need:
- 18th Edition (BS 7671) qualification
- NVQ Level 3 in electrical installation (or equivalent) with AM2
- Current registration with NICEIC, NAPIT or an equivalent competent person scheme, able to self-certify notifiable work under Part P
- Your own van, tools and calibrated test equipment
- Public liability insurance (£2m minimum)
- Self-employed status with your own UTR
- A full UK driving licence
Nice to have:
- 2391 (or equivalent) inspection and testing qualification
- Experience with EV charger installation
- Experience working alongside heating engineers or on boiler installations
Why this is worth a look
Most subcontract work means quiet weeks, chasing invoices and pricing every job yourself. This is different. We generate the work, schedule it, handle the customer and pay you on time — you do the electrical work to a high standard. And if you're looking for something more permanent down the line, this is a paid trial period for both of us, with a full-time role on the other side of it for the right person.

Apply through Indeed with a short note about your experience and your current scheme registration. We'll come back to you to arrange a call.
Pay: £52,000.00-£72,800.00 per year
