Description
Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland.


Want to join us? As an Electrical Multiskilled Craftsperson you will join our fantastic Electrical/Mechanical maintenance team and become a crucial part of delivering top-notch service to Water and Waste stakeholders.


You will be based in the Edinburgh or Lothians area, and you'll also have a hand in supporting various areas within the broader E&M team.

What you'll do

You'll be the hero of repairs, installations, and maintenance for Water, Waste Water, and Network Assets.

Using your amazing electrical and general mechanical skills, you'll tackle issues for both our awesome internal team and sometimes even our external customers.

You'll collaborate with the workflow team to plan and coordinate resources.

Whether it's reacting to incidents or tackling planned work, you'll ensure things run like clockwork while keeping costs in check.

Safety's a big deal, and you'll be the champion of it. You will be undertaking Risk Assessments to help with the selection of appropriate equipment and safe working practices


You will undertake a range of electrical craft skills including good experience with working on 3phase & single-phase equipment, which include fault finding and diagnosis, overload setting, maintenance to motors, motor starters, generators, lighting, variable speed drives, instrumentation and the calibration of process equipment, resetting of automation equipment and variable speed drive parameter setting.

Additionally, you will undertake a range of general mechanical craft skills, which may include some maintenance or removal of pumps, pump component replacements, engines, valves, gearboxes, specialist electrical interface hydraulics and pneumatics, fitting, pipe disconnections, and mechanical devices (such as bearing's couplings, brakes and safety guards)

What you'll need


For this role you will need to have, served a full apprenticeship, and hold an HNC or NC in Mechanical/Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience) and you will need a driving licence.

You'll be the master of all things electrical. Plus, you'll dive into mechanical work and you will be 17th/18th Edition trained.

Being friendly, confident, and a top communicator is key. You'll interact with both our internal and external customers, giving them updates and always leaving them with a smile.

You'll bring strong communication skills and confidence working on your own. And be comfortable turning your hand to new computer systems - we like to move with the times.


You'll always have health and safety at the top of your list, making sure we tick every box of every regulation.

Looking out for you

While the work we do is important, we know it's not the only thing that matters. That's why we make sure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance.

This role includes standby responsibilities. But you'll get plenty of time to recharge with 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays). And you can even buy five more if you need a little extra time. You can also take time off to volunteer in your community.

When it comes to major life events we have family-friendly policies around adoption, maternity, and parental leave. And for the everyday? We embrace flexible working.

For your future, there's our pension (the 'know-what-you'll-get-when-you-retire' kind), and life assurance.

As for some nice extras? You can expect an annual company bonus.

Not to mention access to SW Splash - handy rewards that can save you money on holidays, bills, and shopping.

The not-so-small print

The salary range for this role is £24,741 - £35,566 per annum pro rata (depending on skills and experience).

Job offers at Scottish Water are conditional, and will be confirmed on completion of our pre-employment screening, e.g. referencing, criminal record checks, license checks, etc. These checks are conducted on our behalf by a third party. Don't worry - we'll ask your permission before starting these checks.

A few final things worth knowing


Let us know if there are any changes we can make to our recruitment process to help you perform at your best.

Lots of our people have disabilities or neurodiverse conditions (including some of our recruiters). We're also aware that some people might be experiencing temporary challenges because of life events, like menopause. We're very used to making adjustments, so please don't be afraid to ask.

As part of our commitment to developing a flourishing Scotland, it's important that all our employees are Scottish taxpayers. If you join us, your home address will need to be in Scotland. If you don't already live here, you'll need to commit to moving here within your first three months.
