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

• 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?"

What’s in it for you

• Roughly £38K base, with bonuses driving you toward c.£50k OTE—that's your skill paying dividends
• A company-paid van—mobile base and profile-booster (yes, you’ll own that smell of new cab)
• Vivup access, giving you discounts on holidays, fitness, shopping, tech-benefits that actually land where it counts
• The latest tools and tech to make inspections smoother—not stodgy or outdated
• A mature workplace—zero office politics, plenty of respect, chances to grow, and permanent roles that don't ghost you
