Sorry but I don't understand why this ''someone recently qualified'' line keeps being repeated. An electrician just out their time is not an approved electrician. There is a difference. They will not nessessarily have their IPAF or PASMA as well. An older guy winding down would've need to have gone through at least 4 different courses in the previous 4 years to be qualified for this. This job requires someone really at the top of their game, right up to date on everything, likely just been working on big sites where PASMA and IPAF are required.
What does it really matter? You don’t think Hibs are offering a fair wage, that’s fine, don’t apply for it.

If someone who does have the qualifications and wants to apply then ultimately that’s up to them. If nobody wants the job at that level of pay then Hibs will have to re-advertise and offer more.

Nobody is being disadvantaged, nobody is being taken advantage of, it’s a job that’s an option for anyone who wants to go for it.
