Job Description

The facilities management company in East London needs a qualified electrician who can work neatly and sign off safe installations. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

The site is in East London; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

Quote small jobs for clients and explain the fault in plain language
Complete job cards, material lists and test reports at the end of each job

What you need

Comfortable working at heights on ladders and in roof spaces
Your own basic hand tools and a calibrated multimeter
Registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an Installation Electrician or holding a Wireman's licence
Valid Code 08 driver's licence

Helpful, not essential

Working at Heights certificate still in date
PLC and motor control experience from a factory setting

Company-issued test instruments, calibrated every year

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Tips to get shortlisted

Many applicants forget to attach the trade test certificate itself. Recruiters often skip CVs that only mention it.
List two or three recent jobs with sizes, like a 60-point house rewire or a 10 kVA inverter install. It shows your level quickly.
