Qualifications and Experience Required:

• The ability to use HV testing equipment
• Demonstrable knowledge of electrical safety rules and isolations
• Qualification in Electrical Engineering, eg. HNC

This exciting opportunity is ideal for someone with experience in the installation, maintenance or commissioning of HV systems. It's especially suitable for an HV Engineer who wants to benefit from excellent training and a path to Senior Authorised Person status, with a company that values its people.
