Electrician jobs in Dursley

About Us

Source Electrical Services is an established electrical contractor based in Weston-super-Mare, delivering projects across the South West and throughout the UK.

We work across commercial, retail, education and healthcare environments, carrying out everything from shop refits and commercial installations to lighting upgrades, electrical compliance and planned maintenance.

We're looking for an experienced Approved Electrician who is confident taking responsibility for commercial electrical projects, supervising other electricians and apprentices, and delivering work to a high standard.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in their work and wants to be part of a professional, supportive team.

The Role

You'll be involved in a wide range of projects, from local electrical installations to larger commercial fit-outs across the country.

We are looking for someone who can take ownership of projects, organise their workload and coordinate with clients, site managers and other trades.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Running commercial and retail electrical installation projects.
• Supervising and supporting electricians and apprentices.
• Interpreting drawings and coordinating installation works.
• Organising materials, labour and day-to-day site activities.
• Liaising with main contractors, project managers and clients.
• Installing containment, distribution boards, lighting and small power.
• Electrical testing, fault finding and remedial works.
• Maintaining excellent standards of workmanship and health and safety.
• Reporting on project progress and working closely with our office team.

Our work includes retail fit-outs, commercial installations, schools, healthcare facilities, LED lighting upgrades, EV charging and occasional solar PV installations.

Pay and Earning Potential

We pay you for your travel time, not just the hours you spend working on site.

As many of our projects involve travelling, we recognise that travelling to and from site is part of the job.

Our pay package includes:

• Basic hourly rate from £19 per hour, depending on experience.
• Paid travel time to and from projects.
• Typically around 50 paid hours per week, including travel, depending on workload and project locations.
• Potential gross earnings of approximately £1,000 per week based on 50 paid hours.
• Additional overtime payments for hours worked over 50 per week, in accordance with our overtime policy.

This offers the opportunity to earn a competitive overall salary, with paid travel time contributing to your weekly earnings.
