Are you a qualified Electrician with electrical inspection and testing experience looking for something a little different from the usual electrical role?

We are recruiting for a Field based Electrical Inspection & Testing Engineer to join an established specialist business, carrying out electrical inspection, testing and remedial work across an interesting portfolio of venues throughout the UK.

You'll work within environments including enterainment venues, educational establishments, conference facilities and other specialist sites, combining local work with planned national travel.

This is a permanent, hands-on role offering autonomy, variety and excellent opportunities to further develop your technical qualifications.

The Role

Your responsibilities will include:

Carrying out Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)

Electrical installation inspection and testing

In-Service Inspection & Testing (PAT)

Electrical installation and remedial works

Producing accurate reports and technical documentation

Assisting with quotations for remedial works

Providing customers with technical advice on electrical safety

Supporting PPM and other inspection activities

Working independently on customer sites and acting as the responsible person when required

Ensuring work and documentation meet relevant HSEQ and company standards

Travel & Working Away

This role does involve a significant amount of travel, so it's important that applicants are comfortable working away from home. You can expect a mixture of individual nights and blocks of several days. There is no fixed working-away pattern, and much of the travel is planned and booked months in advance. Night and weekend shifts are rare; where required, overtime is paid at time-and-a-half or double time, depending on when the work is undertaken.

The busiest periods tend to fall during school holidays, balanced with significant local work and work throughout the M4/M5 corridor.

When working away:

• All business expenses are covered
• Hotels are booked in advance by the company's Resourcing Team
• A company credit card is provided for breakfast and evening meals
• Company van and fuel card provided

Hours & Overtime

This is a 40-hour salaried position.

Due to the nature of the work, there isn't a fixed point after which additional weekday hours automatically become overtime.

Night and weekend shifts are rare; where required, overtime is paid at time-and-a-half or double time, depending on when the work is undertaken.

What We're Looking For

All applicants must be time-served electricians and hold:

Level 3 Technical Certificate

Level 3 NVQ

18th Edition Wiring Regulations

Relevant electrical inspection/testing experience

Experience completing EICRs or demonstrable equivalent experience

Electrical installation and remedial experience

Good reporting and documentation skills

Ability to work independently and confidently with customers

Flexibility to travel nationally and work away from home

Candidates at the top end of the salary range will need a Level 3 Inspection & Testing qualification, such as City & Guilds 2391 or equivalent, together with at least two years' demonstrable commercial inspection experience.

Don't have your 2391 yet?

Don't let that stop you applying.

Experienced electricians who meet the core qualification requirements and already have relevant inspection experience will still be considered towards the lower end of the salary range.

Importantly, the company can provide technical training where required, including C&G 2391, subject to the appropriate training agreement.

Package & Benefits

Alongside a salary of £40,000-£50,000, the package includes:

• Fully expensed company van
• Hire vehicle provided until successful completion of probation
• Fuel card
• Option to apply for personal use of the permanent company van following probation
• All hotels and business travel expenses covered
• Company credit card for breakfast and evening meals when working away
• Laptop and mobile phone
• All test and access equipment provided
• Uniform and PPE
• Full H&S training including IPAF, PASMA and First Aid
• Technical training and development where required
• Healthcare cash plan
• 24/7 GP service
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Pension
• Employee rewards schemes
• Option to purchase additional holiday
• Giving Back Days
• Bursary scheme
• Bonus scheme

You'll only need to provide your own basic hand tools.

Interested?

If you're an experienced electrician who enjoys variety, is comfortable travelling and wants to move further into specialist inspection and testing, I'd love to hear from you.
