The posting

Location - Glasgow base covering Scotland

Let’s be honest - not all engineering roles are built the same.

If you know lightning protection, you already know how niche this is. The work matters, the standards are high, and the right engineers are hard to come by.

You’ll be working on everything from MOD sites and hospitals to high-rise residential buildings and major universities - installing systems that quite literally protect structures from catastrophic damage.

What the role actually looks like

This is hands-on, real engineering.

You’ll be out on site — not stuck behind a desk — installing and upgrading lightning protection and earthing systems across a wide range of buildings. Some jobs are straightforward, others more complex… that’s part of the appeal.

  • Working at height using scaffolding, access equipment, and safe systems of work
  • Installing lightning protection systems in line with design specs
  • Upgrading and repairing existing systems
  • Completing site documentation properly (no shortcuts)
  • Liaising with site teams, project managers, and clients
  • Working independently or as part of a tight-knit team

We aim to keep work regional, but there will be occasional stays away depending on projects.

What you’ll need

  • Proven background in lightning protection (install / test / repair)
  • NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Lightning Conductor Engineering or Level 3 Lightning Protection Test & Inspection
  • Solid understanding of BS EN 62305
  • CSCS Card
  • Full UK driving licence

Nice to have: IPAF, PASMA, SSSTS

What’s in it for you

  • £36,000 – £40,000 basic salary
  • Overtime available at 1.5 rate
  • Paid travel time after 30 minutes
  • Company vehicle + fuel card
  • Life assurance (3x salary)
  • Online GP access + prescriptions
  • Vivup discount platform (gym, tech, holidays, retail & more)
  • Salary sacrifice pension
  • Genuine progression opportunities across a growing group of businesses

Why this role stands out

This isn’t just another install job.

You’ll be working on high-profile, safety-critical sites, with the backing of a business that’s growing fast and investing in its people. If you’re good at what you do, there’s real scope to progress — whether that’s technically or into leadership.

If you’re already in the industry, you’ll know — good roles like this don’t come up often.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
