• Ensure all job records, reports, and paperwork are completed accurately and submitted within agreed timescales
• Build and maintain strong relationships with site contacts and key stakeholders
• Support the development of junior engineers through coaching and mentoring
• Uphold high standards of health, safety, and technical compliance
• Effectively manage company equipment, vehicles, and administrative responsibilities

What We're Looking For

We're keen to speak with electrically qualified professionals who can demonstrate experience in inspection, testing, verification, or electrical compliance activities within commercial or industrial environments. You'll also have:

• Relevant electrical qualifications and inspection/testing credentials
• Strong knowledge of current electrical regulations and industry standards
• The ability to accurately assess electrical installations and identify non-compliance issues
• Excellent attention to detail and report-writing skills
• A proactive and organised approach to your workload
• The ability to work independently and manage your own site schedule
• A full UK driving licence
• Flexibility to travel and occasionally undertake work outside standard hours when required

What's in It for You?

• Competitive salary
• Overtime paid at 1.5X standard rate
• Company vehicle and fuel card
• Contributory pension scheme
• Investment in professional development and ongoing technical training
• Clear opportunities for career progression
• Stable, long-term opportunity with an established and growing business
• Diverse project portfolio across commercial and industrial sectors
