Description

Location - Manchester or North West Let’s be honest - not all engineering roles are built the same. If you know lightning protection, you already know how niche this is. The work matters, the standards are high, and the right engineers are hard to come by. You’ll be working on everything from MOD sites and hospitals to high-rise residential buildings and major universities - installing systems that quite literally protect structures from catastrophic damage. What the role actually looks like This is hands-on, real engineering. You’ll be out on site — not stuck behind a desk — installing and upgrading lightning protection and earthing systems across a wide range of buildings. Some jobs are straightforward, others more complex… that’s part of the appeal. Working at height using scaffolding, access equipment, and safe systems of work Installing lightning protection systems in line with design specs Upgrading and repairing existing systems Completing site documentation properly (no shortcuts) Liaising with site teams, project managers, and clients Working independently or as part of a tight-knit team We aim to keep work regional, but there will be occasional stays away depending on projects. What you’ll need Proven background in lightning protection (install / test / repair) NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Lightning Conductor Engineering or Level 3 Lightning Protection Test & Inspection Solid understanding of BS EN 62305 CSCS Card Full UK driving licence Nice to have: IPAF, PASMA, SSSTS What’s in it for you £36,000 – £40,000 basic salary Overtime available at 1.5 rate Paid travel time after 30 minutes Company vehicle + fuel card Life assurance (3x salary) Online GP access + prescriptions Vivup discount platform (gym, tech, holidays, retail & more) Salary sacrifice pension Genuine progression opportunities across a growing group of businesses Why this role stands out This isn’t just another install job. You’ll be working on high-profile, safety-critical sites, with the backing of a business that’s growing fast and investing in its people. If you’re good at what you do, there’s real scope to progress — whether that’s technically or into leadership. If you’re already in the industry, you’ll know — good roles like this don’t come up often. SOB1
