Junior Lighting Controls Commissioning Engineer

Junior Lighting Controls Commissioning Engineer | Thirsk, North Yorkshire | Full Time | c. £25,000-£35,000 per annum

We are a leading lighting design and Lutron lighting controls dealer. We are seeking to recruit a Junior Lighting Controls Engineer. Based in North Yorkshire, we work on highly prestigious projects across the UK and occasionally abroad.

The successful candidate will be electrically qualified and/or very competent, with experience of working in residential construction, but without necessarily any previous experience in lighting controls. Attitude and ability to learn are more important than lighting controls experience, as we will intensively train and develop.

The role would suit an electrician who would like to expand their horizons and develop a real expertise working at the top end of the lighting field.  As both a leading lighting design firm and a Diamond level Lutron dealer we have a unique 'end to end' approach, and a very close working relationship with our clients. We are looking to recruit someone who can learn, grow, and ultimately manage parts of the business in the future.

This role will be based out of the offices in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, and you need to be within a commutable distance of Thirsk (most of the team live within c.1-1.5 hours of the office.) Projects are northern biased but the team work nationally and being onsite when required are important.

This role is perfect for someone looking to grow – whilst the 'start point' in the role is Lutron lighting controls/blinds installation and programming, our client would expect the successful applicant to (over time) develop the skills do a much broader project management and client/site leadership and liaison role.

Are you the right person for the job?

Electrically qualified (ideally) or electrically very competent.

With experience of lighting or AV controls an advantage but not essential

Curious, hungry to learn, and with a 'can do' attitude
Organised and professional
Great attention to detail
Good communicator with a wide range of people (eg; clients, site teams)

Driving licence
Fluent English
Must have permanent right to live and work in the UK
