About the role

This is hands-on, real engineering. You'll be out on site — not stuck behind a desk — installing and upgrading lightning protection and earthing systems across a wide range of buildings. Some jobs are straightforward, others more complex… that's part of the appeal.

You'll be working on everything from MOD sites and hospitals to high-rise residential buildings and major universities - installing systems that quite literally protect structures from catastrophic damage.

Responsibilities

  • Working at height using scaffolding, access equipment, and safe systems of work
  • Installing lightning protection systems in line with design specs
  • Upgrading and repairing existing systems
  • Completing site documentation properly (no shortcuts)
  • Liaising with site teams, project managers, and clients
  • Working independently or as part of a tight-knit team

We aim to keep work regional, but there will be occasional stays away depending on projects.

Requirements

  • Proven background in lightning protection (install / test / repair)
  • NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Lightning Conductor Engineering or Level 3 Lightning Protection Test & Inspection
  • Solid understanding of BS EN 62305
  • CSCS Card
  • Full UK driving licence

Nice to have: IPAF, PASMA, SSSTS

Benefits

  • Overtime available at 1.5 rate
  • Paid travel time after 30 minutes
  • Company vehicle + fuel card
  • Life assurance (3x salary)
  • Online GP access + prescriptions
  • Vivup discount platform (gym, tech, holidays, retail & more)

  • Genuine progression opportunities across a growing group of businesses
