Looking for More Than Just Another Electrical Testing Role?

We're seeking an experienced Electrical Test & Inspection Engineer to join a specialist technical maintenance team working across a diverse portfolio of commercial and infrastructure sites throughout London, the Southeast and, occasionally, the wider UK.

This position offers a genuine mix of inspection, testing, fault-finding and maintenance work, providing variety, autonomy and long-term career development within a growing and highly respected technical business.

If you're an engineer who enjoys working independently, takes pride in producing high-quality certification, and thrives in a field-based environment, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role

As an Electrical Test & Inspection Engineer, you'll be responsible for carrying out periodic inspections, testing and certification of commercial electrical installations and associated infrastructure.

Key duties will include:

• Conducting Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)
• Inspection, testing and certification of electrical systems
• Testing distribution boards, circuits and three-phase installations
• Identifying, recording and reporting electrical defects
• Fault-finding and diagnostics across commercial electrical systems
• Carrying out minor remedial works where required
• Producing accurate electronic reports and certification
• Supporting planned and reactive maintenance activities
• Ensuring all work complies with current BS7671 Wiring Regulations
• Working safely at height and using access equipment when required
• Travelling throughout London, the Southeast and wider UK locations

This is predominantly a field-based role, giving you the freedom to manage your own workload while being supported by an experienced technical and operational team.
