A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.

Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.

You’ll carry out a range of electrical tasks including installations, repairs, testing, and certification, ensuring all work complies with current electrical standards, regulations, and council procedures.

You hold relevant qualifications and have proven experience in electrical testing, installation, and maintenance, and can accurately interpret technical data and complete certifications. You’re a strong team player with a good level of literacy and numeracy, a clean UK/EU driving licence, and a track record of delivering excellent customer service across diverse communities. If you’re passionate about making a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
