Procter Street is proud to be partnering with a fast-growing, forward-thinking infrastructure delivery business to appoint a Head of Electrical—a pivotal leadership role with full ownership of building and scaling a new electrical division.

This is a rare opportunity to create, shape and lead an electrical function from the ground up within an already established and expanding multi-utility organisation. If you’ve previously built or significantly developed an electrical business unit and are ready to take full strategic and operational control—this role is for you.

From securing NICEIC/NAPIT accreditation, to mobilising delivery teams and driving revenue, you’ll play a critical role in positioning the business as a serious player in the electrical and EV infrastructure market.

Responsible for:

• Leading accreditation and compliance (NICEIC / NAPIT, BS 7671, Part P)
• Acting as QS or implementing a compliant QS structure
• Building electrical policies, procedures, and technical standards
• Recruiting and developing a high-performing electrical team
• Delivering LV/HV works and EV charge point installations
• Managing inspection, testing, and certification processes
• Supporting tenders, pricing, and commercial strategy
• Developing supply chain and partner relationships
• Driving growth by embedding electrical capability into existing contracts

What we're looking for:

• Proven experience building or scaling an electrical division or business unit
• Strong commercial awareness (pricing, margins, cost control)
• Background in utilities, infrastructure, or construction environments
• Experience delivering EV infrastructure projects (domestic and/or commercial)
• Solid understanding of compliance and accreditation frameworks
• Previous QS experience (desirable but highly advantageous)

Why this role?

• True ownership and autonomy to build a division your way
• Backed by an established business with strong client relationships
• Opportunity to lead in a high-growth EV and electrical infrastructure sector
• Strategic role with clear impact on business expansion and revenue
