Jonathan Lee Recruitment is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with Jersey Electricity plc (JE) to deliver an extensive talent attraction campaign supporting the company’s ambitious Big Upgrade — a multimillion-pound infrastructure investment designed to strengthen Jersey’s electricity network and accelerate its transition to a smarter, more sustainable energy future.
This collaboration reinforces Jonathan Lee Recruitment’s commitment to supporting major energy projects across the UK and Europe by supplying highly skilled engineering talent.
Supporting Jersey’s Energy Transformation
The Big Upgrade represents one of the most significant energy infrastructure programmes undertaken in the Channel Islands. Jersey Electricity’s long-term investment will focus on upgrading substations, grid connections, and digital systems across the island to:
-
enhance long-term energy security
-
enable integration of renewable technologies
-
support Jersey’s carbon reduction and sustainability targets
To deliver this, Jersey Electricity is seeking world-class electrical engineers, grid specialists, HV/MV technicians, and renewable energy professionals to strengthen its technical workforce for the next generation of energy projects.
A Strategic Talent Partnership
As part of the partnership, Jonathan Lee Recruitment will lead targeted campaigns across the UK and internationally to attract top engineering and technical professionals. These campaigns will promote both the career opportunities available within Jersey Electricity and the unique lifestyle benefits associated with living and working on the island.
“The Big Upgrade represents one of the most significant energy infrastructure investments in the Channel Islands,” said Lee Elwell, Head of Energy Recruitment at Jonathan Lee Recruitment. “We’re proud to be working alongside Jersey Electricity to connect them with the high-calibre engineers and technical specialists needed to deliver a resilient, low-carbon network for the future.”
