Take your career on the move

Looking for a role where no two days are the same? Join Amey’s growing Mobile team supporting the Ministry of Justice and work across a small regional patch of sites, helping to keep essential services running safely and efficiently.

• Taking responsibility for electrical systems as an Authorised and Responsible Person
• Managing permits, isolations and ensuring safe systems of work
• Reviewing electrical certificates and ensuring compliance
• Supporting site teams with technical advice and guidance

• AM2 and/or ECS Gold Card
• Experience in commercial or industrial environments

Experience with fire alarms, CCTV, or working in regulated environments is a bonus—but not essential.
