Frequently Asked Questions
The role is focused on commercial electrical installation as part of a larger refurbishment project. This typically involves first and second fixing, wiring new circuits, installing containment (like metal trunking and conduit), fitting out distribution boards, and terminating at accessories (sockets, switches, lighting). There will also be elements of testing and certification. It is not primarily a domestic or maintenance role, though some fault-finding may be required.
A valid ECS Gold Card (or equivalent JIB-grade proof) is an essential requirement for this particular site, as it is the industry-standard proof of competency and health & safety awareness. If your card has recently expired, we advise you to begin the renewal process with the JIB immediately. In the meantime, please still apply or get in touch, as we may have other construction staffing roles with different entry requirements, or we can discuss your options once the renewal is in progress.
The initial placement is for the duration of the specific commercial project, which is projected to last several months. The client has expressed a strong preference for temp-to-perm arrangements for electricians who demonstrate excellent skill, reliability, and fit with their team. Many of our temporary roles lead to longer-term opportunities, either with the same client or through our extensive network. We are transparent about the potential for permanency during the interview process.
