Power Electrics' Annual Sustainability Report

Working at Power Electrics

Power Electrics know that our employees play a huge part in the success and growth the company has seen since the days of operating from a small yard in 1963. We pride ourselves on our commitment to ensuring our team are well looked after and happy in the workplace. 

Our Culture and Values

Without our employees' hard-working attitudes and dedication, Power Electrics wouldn't be as successful as it is today, at almost 60 years old. As a family-run business, we are committed to providing a workplace that encourages growth and development for all employees.

We ensure that no good work goes unrecognised, no matter how big or small - every effort counts for us. With new technology and research providing us with the means to better source out reliable power that is less of an environmental detriment, it's certainly an interesting time to be working within the generation industry.

Our Business

As the UK's Generator Specialist, you will be part of a team as the demand for generator power increases. Many of Power Electrics' employees have worked at the company for over 20 years within our various departments of hire, sales, service, and parts providing specialised expertise to be shared with our new members of the team.  

The team has seen a surge of growth after our recent acquisition, read more here, meaning we are currently operating out of seven locations across the country, including a London sales office. This is the perfect opportunity to join our company during a time of growth and progression. 

Benefits

Hard work certainly doesn’t go unrecognised at Power Electrics. With a team of over 200 staff members, we pride ourselves on praising each employee for the work they do as well as offering great benefits. We commit ourselves to understanding your needs and requirements, alongside supporting your development and progression whilst working for us. We offer competitive salaries and excellent benefits such as:

  • 23 days holiday (plus bank holidays) – increasing with length of service
  • Competitive salary
  • Excellent development and progression opportunities
  • Company pension scheme
  • Private medical scheme

Supporting Your Growth

We are committed to helping the next generation of staff through both intern and apprenticeship programmes. Apprenticeships have caught on over the last few years, and have grown to be a favourable choice for many young people, especially those who prefer a hands-on experience.

During the last five years we’ve provided a total of eight apprenticeships varying from technicians, electricians and engineers.
