FIELD BASED ELECTRICAL INSPECTION & TESTING ENGINEER

Bristol / M4 & M5 Corridor + UK Travel
Permanent | 40 Hours | £40,000-£50,000 DOE

Company Van | Fuel Card | All Expenses Paid | Paid Overtime | Excellent Benefits | Funded Training

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 a varied portfolio of venues throughout the UK.

You'll work across entertainment venues, educational establishments, conference facilities and other specialist sites, combining local work throughout the M4/M5 corridor with planned UK 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 standardsTravel & Working Away

This is a field-based role involving regular UK travel, so applicants must be comfortable working away from home.

Working away will involve a mixture of individual nights and blocks of several days. There is no fixed pattern, although much of the travel is planned and booked months in advance.

The busiest periods tend to fall during school holidays, balanced with significant local 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 role, 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 and 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

Salary: £40,000-£50,000 Depending on Experience & Qualifications

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

Option to apply for personal use of the permanent company van following probation

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