Estates Management is seeking to recruit suitably qualified and experienced electricians to support the University estate in Wolverhampton to join the effective and efficient Maintenance Teams.

You shall have served a registered apprenticeship or equivalent training in specifically the electrical installation trade. You should be experienced ideally in an industrial/commercial environment and must hold an NVQ Level 3 or approved equivalent in Electrical Installation, the City and Guilds 2360 Electrical Installation Theory Part 2 Course or approved equivalent, and have completed a recognised course on BS7671: 18th edition of the I.E.T.
