ELECTRICAL TECHNICIAN — HV/LV DISTRIBUTION, PANELS & EMERGENCY SYSTEMS

The Electrical Technician will maintain, inspect, and repair the site's full-scope electrical distribution infrastructure, spanning HV and LV switchgear, distribution boards, transformers, earthing systems, and emergency lighting, working alongside the generator, solar, and UPS power management systems. The role requires a technician confident working independently on routine PPM and fault-finding while escalating HV/complex work appropriately, in a live, 24/7, high-footfall environment.

•Carry out scheduled PPM on HV and LV distribution boards, panels, transformers, and switchgear per manufacturer guidelines and statutory intervals.

•Inspect, test, and maintain earthing and bonding systems across the site to ensure continued compliance and safety.

•Maintain and test emergency lighting systems, including battery back-up units, to ensure continuous statutory compliance.

•Diagnose and repair LV electrical faults (distribution circuits, lighting, small power) and support HV fault investigation under supervision of senior/HV-authorised engineers.

•Support the interface between electrical distribution and standby power systems (generators, ATS/AMF panels, solar hybrid, UPS) during switching and changeover operations.

•Carry out thermal imaging surveys and connection-tightening on distribution boards and panels as part of PPM.

•Maintain accurate maintenance logs, test certificates, and defect reports using the facility's CMMS/CAFM platform.

•Respond promptly to electrical emergency call-outs, including out-of-hours where required.

•Strictly follow safe isolation, lock-out/tag-out (LOTO), and permit-to-work procedures at all times; no bypassing of safety systems or interlocks under any circumstance.

•Liaise with the Electrical Lead/Chief Engineer on parts requisition, defect escalation, and PPM scheduling.

Requirements

•OND/HND or Trade Certificate in Electrical/Electrical & Electronics Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

•Minimum 3–6 years' hands-on experience in commercial/industrial electrical maintenance, with demonstrable exposure to both HV and LV distribution systems.

•Working knowledge of distribution boards, transformers, earthing systems, and emergency lighting installations.

•HV authorisation/certification (or clear eligibility to obtain) is an advantage; LV-only candidates with strong potential will also be considered.

•Comfortable working with a CMMS/CAFM system for logging maintenance activity (training provided if not previously used).

•Strong fault-finding and diagnostic skills, with a methodical, safety-first approach to work.

•Willingness to work shifts, be on standby/on-call, and respond to emergency call-outs outside normal hours.

•Good communication skills and the ability to work as part of a wider engineering team on a live operational site.

•Physically fit and able to work in plant-room/industrial environments, including at height and in confined spaces where applicable.

Benefits

•Competitive salary commensurate with experience.

•Structured PPM environment with clear procedures, tools, and CMMS support.

•Opportunity to work on a large-scale, high-profile facility with a full-scope HV/LV electrical infrastructure.

•Career development within a growing Integrated Facilities Management company, including pathway support toward HV authorisation.
