We are looking for a skilled electrician to assist in planned preventative maintenance on flood defence and river navigation structures and to carry out repair work and respond to breakdowns. A knowledge of telemetry systems would be an advantage. You'll be working within a field team based at Ely Depot but working at locations situated mainly across Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire helping to complete our maintenance programme for pumping stations, river control structures, flood barriers, locks, flood gates and sluices.
Our MEICA assets, which range from 1940s pumping equipment to the most up to date PLC systems, have a very important role in the protection of people, property and the environment.
You'll require good ‘IT’ and verbal communication skills whilst also being able to work well within a team environment but also, at times, independently and unsupervised. The role will also involve supervising/overseeing works undertaken by apprentices and external organisations.
Work will involve travelling to remote locations, working outside, working at height and working near water.
A driving licence is essential, as the role will require travel to various sites within the East Anglia Area.
You'll take part in incident response so some standby and on call work will be required.
