Electrician
Self-employed · London and the South East
Qualified, certified, and happy to work on maintenance rather than new build.
Who you would be working with
Simpled Services is a property maintenance and refurbishment company. We work for housing associations, letting agents, landlords and private clients, mostly in London and the South East, and on jobs across the rest of the UK.
More than 8,500 jobs have gone through us. Mould and damp, leaks, plumbing, painting, kitchens and bathrooms, full refurbishments, end of tenancy work. Some of it is a two hour repair. Some of it runs for months.
The work is run inside Plan@Job, our own platform. Your jobs, the address, the scope, your photos, your reports and your invoice all sit in one place, so nobody is chasing anybody through WhatsApp for a picture of a finished wall.
The role
Our electrical work is mostly repairs, replacements and testing in occupied homes. Consumer units, sockets, lighting, faults that somebody else could not find.
You hold your own qualifications and issue your own certificates. We give you the job, the access and the paperwork route.
What the work is
- Diagnose and repair electrical faults in occupied properties.
- Replace consumer units, accessories and lighting to current regulations.
- Issue the correct certificate for the work you have done.
- Tell us straight when a job needs more than was reported.
What we need from you
- A recognised electrical qualification, your own certification route and your own test equipment.
- Public liability insurance, or willing to get it before your first job.
- The right to work in the UK, and registered as self-employed (CIS where the work is construction).
- Your own tools and your own transport.
- A phone you can take photos on. Every job is signed off with pictures.
The pay
Paid per job. The price is agreed with you before the work starts, and it does not change afterwards.
Please do not apply if
- You want a fixed weekly wage. This is self-employed work, paid per job.
- You leave a job at 60 percent and move on. We send the same people back to the same clients.
- Photos and paperwork annoy you. They are how you get paid on time.
