The Work

Projects will vary but may include:

* Commercial installations

* Containment – tray, basket, conduit and trunking

* SWA and cabling

* Lighting and power installations

* Distribution boards

* First and second fix

* Refurbishment and fit-out projects

* Testing and fault finding where appropriately qualified

Projects are available across Somerset, Bristol, Bath, Wiltshire, Dorset, Devon, Gloucestershire and surrounding areas.

What We’re Looking For

Applicants should ideally have:

* NVQ Level 3 or equivalent electrical qualification

* 18th Edition

* ECS/JIB card

* Previous commercial electrical experience

* Own tools

* Good standard of workmanship

* Ability to work independently and as part of a site team

* Testing qualifications are advantageous but not essential for all roles

Why Work Through WeHireTrades?

WeHireTrades specialises in recruiting skilled tradespeople for construction, electrical and building-services businesses.

We come from construction and trades backgrounds ourselves, so we understand the industry, the work and what tradespeople expect from an agency.

We’re looking to build long-term relationships with good electricians rather than simply fill individual jobs. Once registered, we can contact you about suitable projects throughout the South West as they become available.

Interested?

Apply through CV-Library with your latest CV and a member of the WeHireTrades team will contact you to discuss current projects, rates, locations and availability.
