Electrical Craftsperson at Scottish Water

Most people don't think too much about how clean water reaches their taps. Or what happens to their wastewater. But Scottish Water does. In fact, it's all we think about.


Want to join us? As an Electrical Craftsperson, you'll be on the front lines of making sure Scotland's water is totally, dependably pure.

What you'll do

Who says water and Electricity don't mix? Thanks to you, they get on just fine.

You'll be one of our key people who keeps our machinery running - the machinery that keeps Scotland's water and wastewater services flowing.


Working with our Electrical & Maintenance team based in the Inverness area and working across the Highlands, ideally, you'll be a skilled electrician with experience working on three-phase and single-phase equipment in a plant setting.

You'll maintain and fix our equipment, while keeping our people safe. As you know this means risk assessments, PPE and continuous training.

Safety comes first, second, third, fourth and fifth. In this job we need all hands to the pump, sometimes literally, to fix our mechanical and electrical kit.

You'll be working with Scottish Water people mainly, but external contacts too. A helpful attitude is part of the uniform, as is doing things in the most efficiently brilliant way possible. Are you up for it?

What you'll bring


You'll be 17th or 18th-Edition trained, have served an apprenticeship - and bring an HNC or NC in mechanical or electrical engineering, or equivalent.


As you'll be writing up reports, communicating with your team and completing online training, you'll know your way around a computer.

And you'll have a full UK driving license. Th

Even with the best E&M ops in town, sometimes equipment goes wrong outside regular hours - so you'll also work as part of a standby rota

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.

You'll get plenty of time to recharge with 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays). And you can even buy up to 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 (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.
