EVEREC is recruiting on behalf of a growing EV charging and renewable energy business looking to appoint an Electrical Operations Manager to take ownership of its internal electrical operations.
This is a key long-term hire for the business and an excellent opportunity for an experienced Electrical QS, Electrical Supervisor, Electrical Site Manager, Electrical Project Manager or Senior Electrician looking to step into a broader operational and leadership position.
The business delivers domestic and commercial EV charging projects and is expanding further into larger commercial charging installations, solar and wider renewable energy solutions, with ambitious plans to grow nationally.
You’ll initially take responsibility for a small team of field electricians, ensuring work is completed safely, compliantly and to a high technical standard.
As the business grows, you’ll play an important role in developing the electrical function, growing the team and supporting increasingly complex commercial projects.
This could particularly suit someone who has spent several years on the tools and is now looking for more autonomy, technical responsibility and long-term progression, while still remaining close to project delivery.
What you’ll do
- Take day-to-day responsibility for the technical oversight of electrical installations
- Supervise and support a growing team of field-based electricians
- Review, verify and oversee the certification of completed electrical works
- Ensure installations meet relevant electrical regulations, standards and company requirements
- Support electricians with technical queries, fault finding and complex installations
- Carry out site surveys, audits and technical assessments where required
- Support the preparation of quotations, scopes of work and project costings
- Coordinate electrical works across domestic and commercial projects
- Support the delivery and project management of larger commercial EV charging installations
- Work closely with the Directors to improve processes, standards and operational performance
- Help develop the company’s capabilities across EV charging, solar and wider electrical/renewable technologies
- Play a key role in recruiting, developing and growing the electrical team
What we’re looking for
We’re open-minded on exact background and current job title. You may currently be working as an Electrical QS, Electrical Supervisor, Senior Electrician, Electrical Site Manager, Electrical Operations Manager or Electrical Project Manager.
You’ll ideally bring:
- Strong electrical installation experience and relevant electrical qualifications
- Up-to-date knowledge of BS 7671 / 18th Edition Wiring Regulations
- Appropriate competence and experience to inspect, test, certify and oversee electrical installation work
- Strong understanding of electrical testing, certification and compliance
- Experience overseeing, supervising or supporting electricians in the field
- Ability to carry out site surveys and assess technical requirements
- Commercial awareness and confidence supporting quotations and project costing
- Strong communication skills and the confidence to take ownership of the electrical function
- Full UK driving licence
- Based in South Wales and able to travel to the Cardiff office and project sites
Previous experience acting as a Qualified Supervisor (QS) or working within a NAPIT/NICEIC registered contractor would be highly advantageous.
Experience within EV charging would also be highly advantageous, although we’re interested in candidates from solar PV, battery storage, electrical infrastructure and wider commercial electrical contracting backgrounds.
This is an opportunity to join an ambitious growing business at the point where it is bringing more of its electrical capability in-house and building the team required for its next stage of growth.
You’ll have the opportunity to move away from being permanently on the tools and into a position with greater autonomy, responsibility and influence, working closely with the Directors and playing a significant role in how the electrical function develops.
For the right person, there is real scope for the position to develop into the senior electrical leadership role within the business as the team and project portfolio grow.
There is also the potential to discuss future share options for an exceptional individual who joins the business, adds value and becomes an integral part of its long-term growth.
