3Phase Applicants - Immediate Upskill to LVCT

Siemens - Commercial Electricity Metering
Commercial Electrical Meter Engineer
Salary: £40,100 to £46,000/year (DOE) +Bonus (not including London weighting)

Are you a Commercial Electrical Meter Engineer looking for a new challenge?
As Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) worldwide bid farewell to outdated 2G networks, an industry shift is underway.
That's where you come in.
Search Energy is working in partnership with global powerhouse Siemens to expand their Commercial Electricity Metering field team.
We are recruiting 25 Electrical Meter Engineers nationwide, to support Siemens phase out their outdated and costly 2G networks and pave the way for enhanced 4G and 5G services.
This project demands a dynamic response team; the work is a mixture of 3 phase and LV / HVCT so we are hiring a range of engineers with different skill levels to join the team. An unquestionable attitude to safety, excellent customer service skills, and "can do" attitude is a pre-requisite for this role.

What are the key responsibilities?

  • Carry out complete installations and replacements of single phase and 3 phase WC AMR meters for varying contracts in varying locations
  • Installation and Maintenance of LV COP3, COP 5 and COP 10 Smart Metering Systems for Commercial and Industrial Customers
  • Installation, programming and commissioning of LVCT metering
  • Installation of meter wiring looms on LVCT from Terminal Test Blocks

    Why is this happening?

    With many MNOs having already turned off 2G in many countries, networks are becoming less reliable. That means, the modems and SIM cards across Siemens' portfolio will need to be replaced and in some cases, so will the meters. And, there is only a short window of time to complete this activity and ensure customers continue to receive their data.
    Apply today and be the spark that fuels progress.

    What's in it for you?
  • Permanent contracts with Salaries £40,100 to £46,000 banding dependent on quals and experience
  • Bonus scheme (up to 8% annual)
  • Opportunity for progression and development
  • Life insurance
  • EV Salary sacrifice scheme
  • Gym membership discount
  • Discount perks
  • Pension
  • 34 days holiday

    As part of the role, Search in partnership with Siemens offers bespoke upskilling opportunities to enable you to move to the next level of qualification in the commercial metering space. 3 phase to LVCT and LVCT to HVCT opportunities will be available for the right talent.
    Siemens will also consider flexible working arrangements; please speak to us to discuss what you are looking for.
