About us
At Gigawatt Industries, we’re not just installing EV chargers, we’re helping build the future of transport. As one of the UK’s fastest-growing EV infrastructure specialists, we deliver large-scale commercial and industrial charging projects for some of the country’s biggest organisations. Demand is growing rapidly, so we’re expanding our teams and looking for talented, driven people who want to be part of something exciting.
The role
This isn’t a standard electrician role.

Already work well together? We also hire ready-made teams. If you’re an experienced Electrician who already works alongside a trusted Electrician’s Mate, or a team of two or three who know how each other work, you’re welcome to join together, without splitting up a partnership that already delivers. Salaries are agreed individually for each team member, so just tell us about your team when you apply.
