Electrical fitter
CV-LibraryPortsmouth, ENG, PO1, GBpermanentPosted: 17 March 2026
Apply NowAre you an experienced Electrical Fitter / Electrician looking for something genuinely different from the usual commercial or industrial role?
How would you like to work at HM Naval Base Portsmouth, supporting the Royal Navy and delivering essential temporary power services to vessels and engineering teams?
If you’re qualified, hands-on and confident working with 3-phase systems, this could be a brilliant opportunity.
What’s the role all about?
As an Electrical Fitter, you’ll deliver temporary electrical services across the Naval Base — primarily operating as a shore connections electrician, ensuring ships and engineering operations receive safe, reliable power infrastructure.
This is not your average static maintenance role. It’s fast-paced, operational and varied — working around vessels, dockside activity and live engineering environments.
You’ll be responsible for:
Delivering temporary electrical supplies across Portsmouth Naval Base
Working on 3-phase systems (50Hz & 60Hz)
Supporting shore connections for vessels
Maintaining the highest safety standards at all times
Communicating clearly with ship staff and engineering teams
Supporting Alongside Services when operationally required
Participating in on-call rotas and overtime when needed
Every day is different — and the work genuinely supports UK defence operations.
What you’ll need
To be successful as an Electrical Fitter, you’ll have:
Completed an Electrical Apprenticeship (or equivalent route)
NVQ (or equivalent) in Electrical Installations
Electrical Testing qualification
BS7671 18th Edition
Experience with 3-phase systems (50Hz & 60Hz)
PAT Testing qualification
Full UK Driving Licence
Ability to obtain UK Security Clearance
About you
You’re a qualified electrician who enjoys practical, hands-on work. You’re confident working safely in demanding environments and can adapt to changing operational priorities.
You’ll be:
Safety-focused
Flexible and reliable
A strong communicator
Comfortable working in a multi-disciplinary environment
Calm under pressure
Professional and proactive
If you’re bored of repetitive site work and want something with real purpose — this is it.
What’s in it for you?
£37,900 salary
Overtime & on-call opportunities
25 days holiday + bank holidays
Enhanced pension scheme
Life assurance
Cycle to work scheme
Group income protection
Professional development opportunities
Occupational health & wellbeing support
Employee assistance programme
50% off entry to the Historic Dockyard
Why consider this role?
This is a rare opportunity to work inside one of the UK’s most historic and operational naval environments.
You’ll be supporting critical infrastructure, working around Royal Navy vessels, and contributing to a service that truly matters.
Interested?
If you’re an experienced Electrical Fitter / Electrician ready for a more dynamic and purpose-driven role in Portsmouth, we’d love to hear from you.
