Job description

Responsibilities

Running full-scale inspections and tests on commercial and industrial fixed wiring and switchgear-and compiling EICRs that actually matter

Spotting what's not quite up to scratch, logging it, and telling the story of what needs fixing‑in clear English, not bureaucrat‑speak

Using testing gear and reporting software like a pro‑precision meets efficiency

Working independently, adapting daily, and keeping your cool‑because each site throws its own challenges

Staying on top of EICR standards (BS 7671, IET wiring regs, City & Guilds credentials) to keep everything above board

Qualifications & experience

• A minimum of around three years of similar experience – Test & Inspect, remedial repairs, or compliance‑heavy work all count
• The proper qualifications: City & Guilds 2391‑52 (or equivalent), NVQ Level 3, 18th Edition certificate‑proof you know what you're doing
• A full UK driving licence – van not for decoration, but your mobile HQ
• You're detail‑focused, self‑starting, and professional – always thinking "what might trip us up tomorrow?"
