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.
We're looking for someone who is:
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.
What you'll bring
Leadership & people management
A fair, effective and confident people manager who sets clear expectations and tackles issues constructively
Proven ability to lead, motivate and develop teams, including challenging underperformance when needed
A strong coaching mindset - able to explain, guide and support others using your technical credibility
Technical & compliance expertise
Strong, hands‑on electrical background, with the ability to understand work on site and support technical decision‑making
Comprehensive knowledge of electrical legislation, regulations and British Standards
NICEIC experience, including confidently passing audits and maintaining compliance
Strong health & safety knowledge with real‑world application
Assurance & resilience
Experience providing compliance, safety or performance assurance to senior stakeholders
Ability to remain effective under pressure, balancing safety, service delivery and operational demands
Experience acting as a Principal Duty Holder for Electrical Safety (desirable)
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
Qualifications
HNC/HND (or equivalent experience) in Electrical Engineering
CSCS / SMSTS (or equivalent)
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.
