Electrical Manager

Salary: from £58,000 (plus car allowance) depending on skills and experience. Full time | Permanent

Lead electrical safety with confidence, credibility and fairness.

At bpha, electrical safety isn’t just a compliance requirement – it’s a leadership responsibility. We’re looking for an experienced, hands‑on Electrical Manager who can lead people fairly, stand up under pressure, and provide robust assurance across our electrical service.

This is a senior role, acting as bpha’s Principal Duty Holder for Electrical Safety, with real ownership, influence and accountability.

The role

You’ll lead the electrical service both strategically and operationally, taking responsibility for statutory compliance, safety governance and service performance across our housing stock.

What you’ll bring

  • Comfortable being hands‑on and visible, with strong previous electrical knowledge
  • Confident coaching and developing managers, supervisors and operatives
  • Calm and effective in pressurised environments, where safety and service can’t slip
  • Experienced working in construction, maintenance or the private sector – housing experience is welcome but not essential

You’ll work closely with senior leaders, auditors and external bodies, providing clear, evidence‑based assurance on electrical safety, risk and compliance.

Background & sector

Management experience within construction, property maintenance, utilities or the private sector. Housing experience is not required – we’re far more interested in strong leadership, safety knowledge and technical credibility.

Key responsibilities

  • Lead electrical safety governance and statutory compliance
  • Provide assurance and risk reporting to senior stakeholders
  • Act as Principal Duty Holder for Electrical Safety (desirable)
  • Develop and maintain technical knowledge of legislation, regulations and British Standards
  • Mentor and coach the team to achieve high performance and compliance

Qualifications

  • HNC/HND (or equivalent experience) in Electrical Engineering
  • CSCS / SMSTS (or equivalent)
  • Strong health & safety knowledge with real‑world application
  • Experience with NICEIC audits and maintaining compliance

Why bpha?

You’ll be trusted to do the right thing – not the easy thing. We’re values‑led, serious about safety, and committed to supporting leaders who take responsibility, show empathy and drive improvement. In this role, your expertise will directly protect customers, homes and colleagues.

Ready to apply?

If you’re an experienced electrical leader who combines technical credibility, strong people management and calm decision‑making, we’d love to hear from you.

We review applications as they’re received and may close early. We’re committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcome applications from all backgrounds. Reasonable adjustments are available throughout the recruitment process.
