We sat down with one of our electricians, Declan, to hear about life at Hi-Tech straight from the people who work on our projects.
I have worked in the industry for well over a decade, but I have been focusing on Electrical for just over 3 years now. I got into it because my dad was a builder, so I’ve been helping him out since I was very young. Recently, I got into Electrical because I feel there is multiple avenues you can branch into. I could start to look at EV and PV, Distribution, Commercial or Industrial.
I like the freedom I have in my role to run and design jobs. For each job, I am given a specification of what needs to be achieved. I am listened to in regards to the best way to get to the desired end goal.

The variety of work makes my job very interesting, and I enjoy working with and getting to know the different clientele.
My ability to work in a team and alongside other trades has developed greatly since working for Hi-Tech. I have been put on multiple courses while I have been here which have helped me to develop my skills in Electrical. The courses I have been put on not only help with my job, but I can also take them with me everywhere, so I am grateful Hi-Tech has helped me through them.
If you can work well in a team but also be ready and able to work well on your own, you will be a great fit.
A few years ago, I was put on a job at The Crown in Selsey, which was a great introduction to my time at HiTech! I was given a fair bit of freedom into how it was run and the second fixing. It was great because we got to run all new SWA feeds to new exterior pods and I was able to get all the cables sweeping up into an Exterior DB – all neat. The client was very happy with the work, as was my supervisor.

Thanks for your words Dec. We hope they’re as valuable to you as they are to us.
