The work is varied, and you will be trained in electrical installation and maintenance disciplines.
With the introduction of the 18th edition wiring regulations at the beginning of 2019, we have taken on refurbishment projects and this has led to the need to increase the number of electricians.

Gain an understanding of University Blue Book philosophies and regulations. Also, gain an understanding of BS7671 Wiring Regulations
Complete records and paperwork in line with statutory testing and other processes
Attend all day and block courses in line with your apprenticeship
Communicate back to your supervisor, any problems for extra advice and on completion of tasks set
Select, within limits, materials and equipment
After suitable and sufficient training, join the Building Services Fire Response Team
Under the guidance of colleagues, develop the expertise, confidence and skills to engage with academics, researchers, managers and administrators and eventually offer advice on solutions that are timely and cost-effective
Any additional tasks that fall within your competency as directed
