• Prepare assessment areas, equipment and resources as required.
• Ensure high standards of health and safety throughout all practical assessments.
• Work closely with Electrical curriculum, apprenticeship and assessment teams.
• Maintain current knowledge of Electrical regulations, industry standards and working practices.
• Support the continued development and quality of Electrical apprenticeship provision.

The person:

• Experienced Electrician or Electrical Installation professional.
• Recognised vocational qualification in Electrical Installation or a closely related discipline.
• Strong practical Electrical Installation experience.
• Up-to-date knowledge of electrical regulations and industry standards.
• Strong understanding of safe isolation and safe working practices.

• Methodical, organised and able to maintain accurate assessment records.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
