These five lead values direct how we operate, influence the decisions we make and determine who we choose to hire.
We value attentiveness, care and attention to detail. Every wire, connector, switch and panel represents the Capital standard.

We value the ambition, energy and bravery that challenges the status quo and breaks new ground.
The career development and opportunities I have experienced in Capital are second to none.
I joined the company as General Operative, and further education with full support from Capital, I am now in charge of the 3D CAD department.
Typical roles we’re hiring for:
- Design Engineers
- Electrical Engineers
- Mechanical Engineers
- Project Managers
- Site Electricians
- General Operatives
The importance of quality and doing the job right are championed here at Capital.
It’s a huge responsibility to be the last person to test a board before it goes out the door, checking that it’s safe and fit for purpose. I’m trusted to deliver, and the expertise we have across the team helps to make my job as straightforward as possible.
Capital is open and accepting of everyone.
The team has welcomed me with open arms. Working in a male-dominated environment could have been a little daunting and challenging, but I have been lucky to join such a progressive and supportive company.
Apprenticeship Program
A proven, structured, progressive program.
Our apprenticeship program is designed to nurture talent and provide a hands-on, practical grounding in switchgear products, in a collaborative and supportive environment.
Apprentices work on real projects, guided by and learning from our senior team. Apprentices progress through four on-the-job phases and three off-the-job phases in an educational setting via Solas (the State agency tasked with building a world-class Further Education and Training sector). This hybrid structures provides a mix of theory and practical learning.
Once fully qualified as electricians, members of the group have the opportunity to become permanent employees with Capital Switchgear.
Capital’s apprenticeship program was great for me.
With full support from the leadership team, I completed the four-year Apprenticeship, QQi Level 6 advance certificate and qualified as an electrician with distinction. I am now a full-time employee of Capital and delighted to be a part of this team.
