About the role

We are looking for Electricians to support electrical installation activities on marine vessels.

You will be confident reading and interpreting engineering drawings, wiring diagrams and electrical schematics, and able to work within an industrial engineering environment.

Candidates from industries such as Marine, Defence, Aerospace, Manufacturing, Rail, or other industrial sectors will be considered. Those with domestic or construction/building site-only experience are unlikely to be suitable due to the nature of the work. Previous ship or marine experience would be advantageous. You will be NVQ Level 3 qualified (or equivalent) in an electrical discipline.

Candidates must be eligible to obtain security clearance, although current clearance is not essential.

This is initially a short-term requirement; however, there is potential for a temporary-to-permanent opportunity for the right candidate, subject to performance and business requirements.

Working Hours

  • Monday to Thursday: 07:30 - 16:00
  • Friday: 07:30 - 12:30
  • 37-hour standard working week
  • Overtime paid at time and a half after 37 hours have been worked
  • Overtime may be available when operational requirements dictate, but cannot be guaranteed

Rates

PAYE:

Standard 37 hours - £19.80/h plus £2.39/h holiday pay

Overtime after 37 hours - £29.70/h plus £3.58/h holiday pay

Holiday pay can be accrued or advanced.

Umbrella:

Standard 37 hours - £26.52/h

Overtime after 37 hours - £39.77/h

If you have previous marine, shipbuilding, defence, aerospace, manufacturing, rail or other industrial electrical installation experience and are looking for your next contract opportunity, we'd be keen to hear from you.
