Job Description:

RG Setsquare is recruiting on behalf of one of the UK's most established and respected independent building services and facilities management contractors - a business with over a century of heritage, a blue-chip client base, and a strong reputation for technical excellence.

We are looking for an experienced Maintenance Electrician to join their team on one of their flagship FM contracts in the North East. This is a predominantly Newcastle-based role, covering three to four commercial sites across the region as part of a well-structured and professionally managed contract.

It's the kind of role that offers genuine stability - a long-standing contract, a supportive team, and a contractor that takes pride in the quality of its engineering. The salary sits between £38,000 and £40,000 depending on experience, with a company vehicle and overtime available on top.

What You'll Be Doing

Based primarily in Newcastle and covering a small cluster of sites across the North East, your responsibilities will include:

• Inspection, testing, and certification of electrical installations in line with BS7671 (18th Edition)
• Maintaining LV distribution systems, DB boards, switchgear, and associated electrical infrastructure
• Carrying out minor electrical works, modifications, and small installation projects as required
• Ensuring all electrical systems are maintained in a safe, compliant, and operational condition at all times
• Completing PPM records, test certificates, and job reports accurately using the client's CAFM system
• Liaising professionally with client site contacts, building managers, and the wider engineering team
• Working safely and in full compliance with current health & safety legislation and company procedures

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• City & Guilds 2360 / NVQ Level 3 in Electrical Installation or equivalent recognised electrical qualification
• 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (City & Guilds 2382-18)
• Proven experience in an electrical maintenance role within a commercial FM or building services environment
• Sound working knowledge of LV systems, distribution boards, and general electrical plant
• Inspection and testing experience with confidence producing accurate test certificates
• Ability to work independently across multiple sites with strong self-management skills
• Full UK Driving Licence
• Professional, client-facing approach and clear communication skills

Desirable (not essential):

• City & Guilds 2391 Inspection & Testing (or 2394/2395)
• IPAF / PASMA
• Experience with BMS or building controls systems
• Any additional mechanical or fabric skills that support a multi-skilled approach
