About the Opportunity
Rock Recruitment is working with a well-established client to recruit skilled, self-employed electricians to join their network of contract engineers. They deliver repairs and maintenance in social housing, working in tenants’ homes on behalf of housing providers. You’ll play a key part in keeping tenants’ homes safe, with fast fixes and high standards of electrical safety.

* Full and partial rewires
* Scheduled and planned works
* EICR testing, and EV charger installation where relevant to the job
You’ll often be working in occupied homes, so good customer service matters. That means treating tenants with respect, diagnosing issues efficiently, aiming for first-time fixes, and giving clear, professional advice. All work must be safe, compliant and right first time.
