Electrical Maintenance Engineer

Maintenance Electrician

Build a long-term career — not just your next job

We’re expanding our electrical team across the South West and South Wales due to growth on long-term contracts. This is a planned expansion
, not a replacement hire.

Before the day-to-day, here’s what really matters.

Career progression — the real kind

At Sherwoods, progression isn’t rushed and it isn’t based on empty promises.

Several members of our senior leadership team started with us as apprentices
. They learned the trade properly, proved themselves over time, and progressed when they were ready — not because a title was dangled in front of them.

That’s still how we do things today.

We won’t promise you a supervisor role in three months.
What we will offer is:

• A stable, growing business
• Clear opportunities as the company expands
• Support, training, and trust as you develop
• A genuine long-term career path

If you’re good at what you do, committed, and want to grow, we’ll back you.

Why this role is different

This is a role for electricians who want to settle in and build something
, not bounce between short-term jobs.

• Planned work with realistic schedules
• Trusted to manage your day once on site
• No micromanagement, no unnecessary pressure
• A business that hires ahead of demand, not after people burn out

• Planned and reactive electrical maintenance across client sites

• Working to a realistic, pre-planned schedule
• Completing work safely and in line with regulations

• NVQ Level 3 in Electrical Installation (or equivalent)

• Experience in a maintenance or mobile role
• Full UK driving licence
• Willingness to undertake an enhanced DBS check

• Salary up to £38,000
  , depending on experience
• Realistic earnings nearer £45,000 when door-to-door travel time is included
• Company van + fuel card (AC, cruise control, parking sensors)
• Overtime available (never forced)

We’re a family-run business with over 50 years of doing things properly. We invest in our people and promote from within wherever possible.
