The Electrical Technician will maintain inspect and repair the sites full-scope electrical distribution infrastructure spanning HV and LV switchgear distribution boards transformers earthing systems and emergency lighting working alongside the generator solar and UPS power management systems. The role requires a technician confident working independently on routine PPM and fault-finding while escalating HV/complex work appropriately in a live 24/7 high-footfall environment.

Carry out scheduled PPM on HV and LV distribution boards panels transformers and switchgear per manufacturer guidelines and statutory intervals.

Inspect test and maintain earthing and bonding systems across the site to ensure continued compliance and safety.

Maintain and test emergency lighting systems including battery back-up units to ensure continuous statutory compliance.

Diagnose and repair LV electrical faults (distribution circuits lighting small power) and support HV fault investigation under supervision of senior/HV-authorised engineers.

Support the interface between electrical distribution and standby power systems (generators ATS/AMF panels solar hybrid UPS) during switching and changeover operations.

Carry out thermal imaging surveys and connection-tightening on distribution boards and panels as part of PPM.

Maintain accurate maintenance logs test certificates and defect reports using the facilitys CMMS/CAFM platform.
