Employement type: Permanent

Salary: £52,000 - £56,000
Are you a proven Electrical Supervisor ready to lead from the front in a safety-critical, high-performance environment? Do you thrive in heavy industry where no two days are the same, and your leadership genuinely makes an impact?
Our client, a major UK infrastructure and logistics organisation, is investing heavily in its future and is now seeking an experienced Electrical Supervisor to join their engineering team at a large-scale operational site in Liverpool.
This is a key leadership role where you'll take ownership of a multi-skilled maintenance team, keeping essential plant and equipment running safely, efficiently, and compliantly in a demanding, fast-paced environment.
The Role
In this position, you'll be responsible for the day-to-day leadership of a multi-skilled engineering team, delivering planned preventative and reactive maintenance across a complex industrial operation. You'll play a critical part in:

• Leading and developing a team of electrical and multi-skilled engineers
• Ensuring all maintenance, installation, and commissioning activities meet the highest safety and quality standards
• Driving compliance across statutory regulations including PUWER, PSSR, COSHH, LOLER and DSEAR
• Managing contractors and preferred suppliers on specialist works
• Producing Root Cause Analysis and leading fault-finding investigations
• Working closely with operations and other engineering functions to minimise downtime and maximise performance
• Supporting continuous improvement and safe systems of work across the site
• This is a highly visible role where your decisions, leadership style, and technical judgement will directly influence operational performance.

What We're Looking For
We're seeking a confident Electrical Supervisor with at least 4-5 years' experience in a supervisory or leadership role within a heavy industrial environment such as ports, manufacturing, utilities, energy, FMCG, or similar.
You'll also bring:

• A minimum of HNC (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering

• A strong grasp of health & safety legislation and compliance frameworks
• Proven problem-solving skills and experience delivering RCA and continuous improvement initiatives
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to build trust across engineering, operations, and contractors
• ATEX knowledge is desirable but not essential - strong understanding of hazardous area compliance is beneficial
• A full UK driving licence is essential. You should also be comfortable working at heights and in confined spaces when required.

What's On Offer
This is an opportunity to join a forward-thinking organisation undergoing significant investment and transformation. You'll benefit from:

• A competitive salary
• 27 days annual leave + bank holidays
• Up to 10% matched pension contribution
• A wide range of flexible benefits including healthcare, car scheme, Cycle2Work, gym membership, and retail discounts
