Your New Role We have a fantastic opportunity for a permanent Electrician to join our Ministry of Justice (MoJ) account in HMP Birmingham. This role is on-site.

Title:

Electrician
Requisition

There may be a need to work some weekends but this would be on a rota basis (and with an additional allowance of 15% of basic salary).

At Amey, we’re supporting our justice client, His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) by providing them with safe, clean and efficient prisons. By using our facilities management expertise, we help keep 60 secure premises across England and Wales running smoothly.

The Electrician plays an important part in ensuring the planned and reactive maintenance work within the prisons is carried out in a safe, compliant and timely manner. The standard hours of work are 39 hours per week (across 7 days where a weekend shift pattern is in place).

We offer flexibility, career development, a choice of benefits and support that help you through life’s ups and downs. It’s the reason why Investors in People put us among the top 1% of employers and we have a competitive reward and benefits program.

In addition, IT skills and experience in fire alarm systems and CCTV systems are desirable to help you hit the ground running, although not essential as we will provide development to bring you up to speed.
