Electrician

Reactive Electrician – Mobile, Commercial & Retail

Location: Cheshire based, covering the North West with travel further afield
Salary: £42,000 basic + overtime (realistic earnings £55k–£60k+)
Type: Permanent, full time

I’m working with an established, growing FM and building services contractor. They look after large retail and commercial estates, have a strong long-term pipeline of work, and are looking for Reactive Electricians to join their electrical division.

This is a reactive maintenance role, not testing-only or installation. Most of your day will be spent responding to faults and breakdowns in live stores. When a fault hits trading, power or refrigeration, the customer needs it fixed quickly and properly. You’ll need to understand that urgency and be able to stay calm and get on with it on your own.

Travel is a big part of this role. It’s a mobile position covering multiple sites. Most of the work is in the North West, but you’ll be travelling as part of the job and will need to work away when required. When you do, accommodation and meals are covered. If you’re looking for one site close to home, this won’t be the right fit. If you’re happy on the road, it’s a role with real earning potential.

The company has a good culture and engineers are trusted to manage their own work without being micromanaged. They look after their engineers and value retention. In return, they need people who are reliable, responsive and genuinely happy working independently.
