Thank you for your interest in the role of Lead Electrician.  This is an incredibly exciting time to join the Works Department as we near completion of our new Centre of Excellence for Heritage Craft Skills & Estate Management.

The Centre of Excellence will establish the York Minster Precinct as a world class campus facility for research, education, and training in traditional craft skills as well as the many technical skills needed to care for a heritage estate in the 21st century.  As well as encouraging global learning and knowledge sharing, it will also preserve a broad range of skills for future generations, as well as being a shining example of best practice in managing complex heritage estates.

Our Electricians will play a key role in our future as we begin our decarbonisation journey and take a leading role in heritage adaptation, particularly through the use of renewable energies.  By Christmas, we will be producing in excess of 175,000 kWh of power on site, per year.

The role of Lead Electrician is varied and interesting.  No two days will be the same as you work across our ancient estate of listed buildings – from the 12th Century Old Palace, to the Minster itself, and to our many residential and commercial properties.   You will be part of a team who are passionate about caring for this very special part of the City of York, forming part of its long history dating back centuries.
