Are you a qualified Electrician with electrical inspection and testing experience looking for something a little different from the usual electrical role?

We are recruiting for a Field based Electrical Inspection & Testing Engineer to join an established specialist business, carrying out electrical inspection, testing and remedial work across an interesting portfolio of venues throughout the UK.

You'll work within environments including enterainment venues, educational establishments, conference facilities and other specialist sites, combining local work with planned national travel.

This is a permanent, hands-on role offering autonomy, variety and excellent opportunities to further develop your technical qualifications.

The Role

Your responsibilities will include:

• Carrying out Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)
• Electrical installation inspection and testing
• In-Service Inspection & Testing (PAT)
• Electrical installation and remedial works
• Producing accurate reports and technical documentation
• Assisting with quotations for remedial works
• Providing customers with technical advice on electrical safety
• Supporting PPM and other inspection activities
• Working independently on customer sites and acting as the responsible person when required
• Ensuring work and documentation meet relevant HSEQ and company standards

Travel & Working Away

This role does involve a significant amount of travel, so it's important that applicants are comfortable working away from home. You can expect a mixture of individual nights and blocks of several days. There is no fixed working-away pattern, and much of the travel is planned and booked months in advance. Night and weekend shifts are rare; where required, overtime is paid at time-and-a-half or double time, depending on when the work is undertaken.

The busiest periods tend to fall during school holidays, balanced with significant local work and work throughout the M4/M5 corridor.

When working away:

• All business expenses are covered
• Hotels are booked in advance by the company's Resourcing Team
• A company credit card is provided for breakfast and evening meals
• Company van and fuel card providedHours & Overtime

Hours & Overtime

This is a 40-hour salaried position.

Due to the nature of the work, there isn't a fixed point after which additional weekday hours automatically become overtime.

Night and weekend shifts are rare; where required, overtime is paid at time-and-a-half or double time, depending on when the work is undertaken.

What We're Looking For

All applicants must be time-served electricians and hold:

• Level 3 Technical Certificate
• Level 3 NVQ
• 18th Edition Wiring Regulations
• Relevant electrical inspection/testing experience
• Experience completing EICRs or demonstrable equivalent experience
• Electrical installation and remedial experience
• Good reporting and documentation skillsAbility to work independently and confidently with customers

Don't have your 2391 yet?

Don't let that stop you applying.

Experienced electricians who meet the core qualification requirements and already have relevant inspection experience will still be considered towards the lower end of the salary range.

Importantly, the company can provide technical training where required, including C&G 2391, subject to the appropriate training agreement.
