About The Role
We are looking for an Assistant Electrical Qualifying Supervisor. This is a succession role, and the successful candidate will be expected to step into the Electrical Qualifying Supervisor position over the next 12–18 months as part of the planned transition.
Reporting to the Head of Repairs, you’ll support the current Electrical Qualifying Supervisor by providing day‑to‑day technical supervision for a small team of electricians, including oversight of subcontractors.

During your supervisory days, you’ll lead and manage the team in delivering electrical repairs and cyclical compliance (EICR) across all domestic and commercial properties in our stock. You’ll ensure all legislative requirements are met, value for money is achieved, and that high‑quality installation, maintenance and repairs are delivered for both our properties and external customers. Your role will be key in maintaining strong electrical compliance and service standards across the portfolio.
You will be responsible for providing technical and operational support to the team, as well as ensuring that Housing Solutions meets our landlord responsibilities. You will also be responsible for company EICR registration and NICEIC membership.
About you
As our Assistant Electrical Qualifying Supervisor, you’ll have experience of leading a team of electricians, as well as experience of contract management, which includes sourcing and selecting contractors to support the delivery of our services. You’ll also need experience of conducting and analysing EICR documentation to deem them compliant, as well as experience of conducting electrical related inspections and repairs in both a domestic and commercial setting.

You’ll need to be able to communicate effectively while taking a positive approach to solving daily work challenges. You’ll be self-motivated, able to manage time effectively and demonstrate high levels of energy and commitment.
You’ll need a flexible approach to work, able to participate in out of hours duty rota, as required. A full UK driving licence is essential, as a work van will be provided initially.
