Job Description:

Electrical Project & Maintenance Manager – Portslade

Location: Portslade, Brighton

Salary: £45,000 + £5,000 Car Allowance

Hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00am–5:00pm

Job Type: Permanent, Full-time

I’m recruiting for an experienced Electrical Project & Maintenance Manager to join an established electrical contractor based in Portslade.

This is a varied, hands-on management position overseeing a busy portfolio of domestic and commercial electrical works, managing the day-to-day workload of the electrical team and ensuring jobs are properly coordinated from initial enquiry through to completion.

This isn't purely a desk-based scheduling role. I'm looking for someone with a strong electrical background who understands how jobs should be delivered, can confidently manage electricians and customers, and is comfortable taking ownership when problems arise.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for:

• Managing and allocating the day-to-day workload of the electrical installation team
• Coordinating domestic and commercial electrical works from enquiry through to completion
• Scheduling installations, inspections, follow-up works and site visits
• Managing multiple live jobs, priorities and deadlines
• Liaising with electricians, supervisors, customers, landlords and letting agents
• Preparing quotations and progressing works
• Reviewing and issuing electrical certificates
• Ensuring works and certification meet BS7671 requirements
• Monitoring job progress, quality, compliance and customer satisfaction
• Managing job portals, schedules and customer communications
• Supporting electricians with technical and procedural queries
• Dealing with customer queries, issues and complaints
• Overseeing smaller electrical projects from start to finish
• Identifying and resolving issues that could impact programme, compliance or delivery

What I’m Looking For

Ideally, you’ll have:

• At least 5 years' post-qualification experience within the electrical industry
• Experience across both domestic and commercial electrical works
• Previous management, supervisory or leadership experience
• A good understanding of electrical compliance, certification and BS7671
• Strong organisational and administrative skills
• The ability to manage multiple jobs and changing priorities
• Confidence managing electricians and dealing directly with customers
• A proactive, organised and solutions-focused approach
• Full UK driving licence

Previous experience as an Electrical Project Manager, Maintenance Manager, Contracts Manager, Electrical Supervisor or Electrical Coordinator would be particularly relevant.

A recognised electrical qualification and 2391 Inspection & Testing would also be advantageous.

Package

• £45,000 basic salary
• £5,000 car allowance
• Private healthcare
• 21 days holiday + bank holidays
• Pension
• Free training and development
• Genuine opportunity for career progression

This would suit someone who has come through the electrical industry and is now looking for a role where they can take real ownership of projects, people and the day-to-day running of a busy electrical operation.

If you’re an experienced electrical professional based around Brighton, Hove, Portslade, Shoreham or the surrounding areas, I’d be keen to hear from you.
