SalaryElectrical Operations Technician - Aylesbury - £39,488 to £46,456 + Company Van
Gas goes in, gas comes out. Sounds simple, right? But you know it isn't.
As a skilled technician, you’ll help protect and maintain the high-pressure systems in our compressor stations. These stations are the engines that power long-distance gas pipelines across the National Transmission System.
Working with our Operations Team, you’ll cover a patch to take on the installation, inspection, commissioning, operation, repair and maintenance of various equipment. You’ll act as incident controller and site main controller and oversee and inspect work carried out by others.
You’ll also issue permission documents, formulate isolations and support with the construction and commissioning of new assets on the system.
You’ll have previously completed an apprenticeship (or other recognised training scheme) and hold a BTEC National Certificate (or equivalent City & Guilds NVQ/SVQ Level 3) in an Electrical discipline.
You’ll have operated, controlled and undertaken work within Safe Systems of Work. You’ll also have experience in undertaking maintenance, fault diagnosis and rectification work within the oil and gas (or similar) industry. We work in hazardous areas, so knowledge of health and safety is key.
