• lead and deliver minor electrical projects, including ordering materials and coordinating trades
• support ongoing planning for future electrical system renewal
• maintain tools, parts, and equipment, ensuring correct storage and upkeep
• work collaboratively with colleagues and external contractors, ensuring minimal disruption to Cathedral activities

Who we're looking for

We're looking for someone who has:

• a City & Guilds 2382-22 – 18th Edition qualification
• C&G 2391-52 Inspection and Testing qualification
• experience in electrical installation, maintenance and project delivery

The successful applicant will also be expected to share in our commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.

In return you’ll find we are a welcoming place to work and we each take responsibility for our part in the Cathedral’s work, looking after St Paul’s for the next generation.

• Our annual holiday allowance is 25 days plus bank holidays
• Our pension scheme allows for up to 7.5% employer contribution
• And as you might expect we have life assurance of four times basic salary and an employee assistance programme

We are committed to creating and sustaining a diverse and inclusive workforce that represents our context and wider community.
