• Acting as the technical authority for electrical testing, inspection and compliance matters.
• Ensuring adherence to British and European standards, safety regulations and NICEIC requirements.
• Supporting and preparing for external audits and regulatory assessments.

We're looking for someone who can bring fresh thinking, challenge existing processes and work collaboratively with colleagues to build something better.

The role is primarily home based, with occasional travel across the UK and periodic visits to our offices for team collaboration and leadership meetings.
