Electrician (Testing and Inspection)

Electrician – Testing and Inspection - PTSG Electrical Services

Location: Portsmouth PO2 8PL, Redhill, Guildford (regional coverage—you’ll become part cartographer, part compliance guru)

Salary: Approx £38,000 base, PLUS bonuses (OTE £45–55k), a fully expensed company van, and solid benefits

Hours: Varied, with potential for premium pay and that bonus oomph—because effort should be rewarded

Why we’re writing this: we’re scaling fast and we need sharp, curious electricians. Everyday places—schools, hospitals, offices, industrial units—all rely on trustworthy wiring. If, while scanning this, your inner voice went “I like making systems safe, one test at a time,” you’re probably our kind of person.

What you’ll actually be doing (cutting through the jargon):

• Running full-scale inspections and tests on commercial and industrial fixed wiring and switchgear—and compiling EICRs that actually matter




• Spotting what's not quite up to scratch, logging it, and telling the story of what needs fixing—in clear English, not bureaucrat-speak




• Using testing gear and reporting software like a pro—precision meets efficiency




• Working independently, adapting daily, and keeping your cool—because each site throws its own challenges




• Staying on top of EICR standards (BS 7671, IET wiring regs, City & Guilds credentials) to keep everything above board

What we expect from you:

• A minimum of around three years of similar experience—Test & Inspect, remedial repairs, or compliance-heavy work all count




• The proper qualifications: City & Guilds 2391-52 (or equivalent), NVQ Level 3, 18th Edition certificate—proof you know what you’re doing




• A full UK driving licence—van not for decoration, but your mobile HQ




• You’re detail-focused, self-starting, and professional—always thinking “what might trip us up tomorrow?”

What’s in it for you:

• Roughly £38K base, with bonuses driving you toward £45–55K OTE—that’s your skill paying dividends




• A company-paid van—mobile base and profile-booster (yes, you’ll own that smell of new cab)




• Vivup access, giving you discounts on holidays, fitness, shopping, tech—benefits that actually land where it counts




• The latest tools and tech to make inspections smoother—not stodgy or outdated




• A mature workplace—zero office politics, plenty of respect, chances to grow, and permanent roles that don’t ghost you

This advert isn’t the final word—it’s a conversation starter. Send us your CV and cover letter (keep the snark to a minimum, the clarity to a maximum). If we see what we like, we’ll call you in to talk shop—and maybe swap stories, too.

We keep places safe. You keep the wiring safe. Let’s do this together.
