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.
