About the Opportunity

Rock Recruitment is working with a well-established client to recruit skilled, self-employed electricians to join their network of contract engineers. They deliver repairs and maintenance in social housing, working in tenants’ homes on behalf of housing providers. You’ll play a key part in keeping tenants’ homes safe, with fast fixes and high standards of electrical safety.

The Role
