Electrical Installation Manager

Some people turn up to site and just get on with the job. Others naturally take charge without being asked. They organise the team, keep things tidy, make sure the client’s happy, and spot problems before they become problems.

If that sounds like you, this role will feel like a natural fit.

We’re looking for someone who’s strong on industrial electrical installations, confident leading small teams, and ready to step into a position where you’re trusted to run jobs properly. This isn’t a “sit in the office” leadership role, but it’s not purely tools either. It’s the middle ground where your experience, judgement and organisation make the real difference.

The Work
You’ll lead a small team delivering compliance-focused electrical installations across a range of industrial sites. Typical work includes safety circuit installations, panel remedials, machinery upgrades, cabling and containment, electrical testing, and work within ATEX-designated areas. If you’ve not done ATEX before, training is provided.

You’ll step in on the tools when needed, but you’ll also be the person coordinating materials, planning the work, communicating with clients, and keeping standards high. Roughly 40% tools, 60% leadership and coordination.

What You’ll Need
A solid background in industrial or manufacturing electrical installations. Experience guiding or leading others on site. Comfortable working with control panels, containment, cabling and interpreting diagrams. AM2 and 18th Edition are essential. You must also be willing to travel across the UK for site work.

Nice to Have (Training Provided)
ATEX or CompEx experience, machinery safety knowledge (PUWER, safety circuits, SIL/PLr), and C&G 2391-52 testing and inspection.

The Type of Person Who Thrives Here
Someone who takes pride in the quality of their work. Someone who doesn’t leave loose ends. Someone who keeps a tidy van and stays one step ahead with materials. Someone who can keep a team focused and maintain high standards even in busy production environments. Someone who communicates clearly, represents the business well, and understands the responsibility of working as a contractor on blue-chip customer sites.

Why This Is a Strong Opportunity
This department is growing quickly. The pipeline is strong, the team is expanding, and there’s clear room for development into wider leadership roles as multiple teams form across different regions and workstreams. You’ll also receive further training in ATEX, PUWER, machinery safety and testing, giving you highly valuable specialist skills.

If you want a role where you can still get stuck in, but also take ownership, organise people properly, and be trusted to deliver complex compliance projects, this is a genuinely rewarding step up.
