Are you an electrician who's spent years installing and testing LV switchgear, and wants to get onto the commissioning side properly?

This is one of those roles that doesn't come up often. Our client is an established independent switchgear and busbar engineering house with two senior commissioning engineers in place, and they're bringing three new engineers in to train to their own standards and procedures.

You won't be thrown in. You'll be developed into full Level 2 to Level 4 and integrated systems testing by people who have been doing it for years. Most firms poach finished commissioning engineers rather than build them, which is exactly why the people who have those skills are so hard to replace.

• Functional testing of control circuits and interlock verification
• Instrument transformer testing
• Live commissioning, energisation and load testing
• Operational proving, final function verification and client witness testing
• Changeover and failure scenarios
• Protection and trip testing, control and metering interface testing
• Integrated Systems Testing, including BMS and EPMS signals and control responses
• Fault finding and diagnosis on LV electrical systems
• Commissioning reports, test records, red line drawings and final documentation
• FAT and SAT participation

What you'll need

• NVQ Level 3 in Electrical Installation or equivalent
• 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671)
• Hands-on LV switchgear experience - switchboards, panels, distribution, busbar
• Full UK driving licence
• Happy to travel nationwide and work away when the job needs it

• C&G 2391 Inspection and Testing
