Electrical Supervisor / Installer – Wastewater Projects
£300–£350 per day | Outside IR35 | Midlands
A leading regional contractor has recently secured six wastewater schemes across the Midlands and is looking to strengthen its delivery team with experienced Electrical Supervisors / Installers.
The initial projects will be located between Derby and Rotherham, with further schemes planned across the wider Midlands region. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced electrical professional looking for long-term, continuous work across multiple water/wastewater projects.
We’re particularly interested in candidates who have worked on wastewater treatment works, water treatment plants, pumping stations or similar process/industrial environments.
The Electrical Systems & Equipment
Candidates should ideally have experience installing, supervising or commissioning electrical systems associated with water/wastewater infrastructure, including some of the following:
* LV electrical distribution systems, including MCCs, distribution boards, switchboards and control panels
* Motor Control Centres (MCCs) and motor starters
* Variable Speed Drives (VSDs/VFDs) for pumps, blowers and other process equipment
* Pumping systems, including submersible, sewage, sludge and transfer pumps
* Control panels and local control stations
* PLC control systems and associated I/O wiring
* Instrumentation and control (I&C) systems
* Field instrumentation such as level, flow, pressure and temperature sensors
* Ultrasonic/radar level instrumentation
* Flow meters and associated cabling
* Actuated valves, motorised valves and associated control wiring
* Telemetry/SCADA systems and remote monitoring equipment
* Process control and automation systems
* Dosing equipment and chemical dosing systems
* Blowers, compressors and aeration equipment
* Electrical supplies to screening, grit removal and sludge treatment equipment
* Emergency lighting, general lighting and small power
* Cable containment, tray, ladder, conduit and trunking
* Installation and termination of LV power and control cabling
* Earthing and bonding systems
* UPS systems, batteries and standby/emergency power
* Generators and changeover/ATS systems
* Electrical equipment within pumping stations and wet wells
* Experience with hazardous/ATEX areas would be highly advantageous
The Role
You’ll be responsible for helping deliver the electrical installation across wastewater projects, working closely with the Project Manager, engineers and wider site team.
Typical responsibilities will include:
Supervising electrical installation teams and subcontractors
Carrying out and overseeing electrical installation works
Installing and terminating power, control and instrumentation cabling
Installation of MCCs, control panels, equipment and field devices
Reading and interpreting electrical schematics, cable schedules, GA drawings and wiring diagrams
Coordinating electrical works with mechanical/process installation
Checking installations against drawings and specifications
Managing daily electrical activities and ensuring works remain on programme
Supporting testing, inspection and commissioning
Fault finding and resolving installation issues
Producing/maintaining relevant site records and documentation
Ensuring RAMS, permits and electrical safety procedures are followed
Working alongside commissioning engineers during system start-up and handover
Experience Required
We’re looking for someone who is comfortable working in a live industrial/water environment and can operate as both a hands-on electrical installer and a supervisor when required.
Ideally, you’ll have experience with:
Water/wastewater treatment works
Pumping stations
Water utility infrastructure
Industrial/process environments
Electrical installation and supervision
LV distribution and motor control
Pumps, drives and automated equipment
Control panels, PLCs and instrumentation
Testing and commissioning
18th Edition, NVQ Level 3 Electrical Installation or equivalent qualifications are expected. SSSTS/SMSTS, ECS/JIB and water-sector site experience would also be advantageous.
