Job Description

We are seeking a dedicated and fully qualified Electrician to undertake a vital role within a major logistics and distribution hub in Leeds LS9. This facility is a cornerstone of regional and national supply chains, housing advanced automation, extensive lighting, and critical power distribution systems. Your primary objective will be to ensure all electrical installations, maintenance, and repairs are carried out to the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and compliance with the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671). You will be working as part of a larger maintenance team, but will often operate independently, diagnosing faults, responding to breakdowns, and performing planned preventative maintenance (PPM) schedules. The environment is fast-paced, and the ability to work methodically under pressure is essential. This role is not just about fixing problems; it's about proactive system management to prevent downtime in a 24/7 operational environment.

• Diagnose and rectify electrical faults efficiently to minimise operational downtime within the logistics hub, completing all necessary paperwork and test certificates.
• Work collaboratively with other trades and the site management team, providing electrical expertise for small projects and equipment installations.
• Maintain a safe working environment at all times, conducting risk assessments and method statements for all tasks, and ensuring all tools and equipment are in good working order.

What We're Looking For

• A fully qualified Electrician with recognised apprenticeship/C&G 2365 or equivalent, and mandatory 18th Edition Certification.
• Proven experience in an industrial or commercial setting, preferably within logistics, warehousing, or manufacturing environments.
• Strong diagnostic skills and a practical, hands-on approach to problem-solving. Experience with 3-phase power, motor controls, and basic PLC awareness is highly desirable.
• Excellent understanding of health and safety regulations, with a valid ECS/CSCS card. Must be reliable, punctual, and able to work independently with minimal supervision.
