Location: Peckham - London

Duration: 2 days associated to Lighting

Dates: TBC

Number of placements available: 1

We are a small direct labour organisation within a local authority in South London. We are a completely in house team and carry out both the client, design and contractor function in regard to Street Lighting and Electric Vehicle infrastructure. We maintain over 18,000 street lighting columns and nearly 2000 Electric vehicle charge points. 

What You'll Be Doing:

As part of the 2 days, you will be introduced to how a Local Authority sets out its Lighting policy and strategy for the Borough and why it may tailor this to its local communities whilst still being compliant to British Standards. You will then work through designing a lighting scheme on a local road, using Lighting Reality and CAD to produce a design and drawing. We will talk about remote monitoring of the luminaires and spend a day with the operational team looking at basic electrical works and some of the Health & safety associated to working with electrics and on the Highway. We will also look to introduce you to EV Charging infrastructure and discuss the site selection process, logistical roll out and ongoing maintenance.
