Job Description:

The role involves conducting Flick testing, an emergency lighting test also known as a 'flash' test. This test is performed by temporarily switching off the building's power to verify whether emergency light fittings (luminaires) remain illuminated and turn on. If they do not, repairs or replacements are necessary.

The job requires traveling around a specific region. Additionally, a duration test (discharge test) involves fully draining the batteries of emergency lights to ensure they function correctly during emergencies such as fires or power cuts. This helps identify issues with drainage, battery life, or damaged lighting elements that may need replacement.

Applicants must have a Level 3 electrical installation qualification, 18th Edition certification, and a valid driving license.
