What will I be doing in this role?

As a PAT Tester, you’ll play a vital role in ensuring electrical safety across a range of commercial properties. You’ll be responsible for:

• Conducting Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) on electrical appliances and equipment in line with industry regulations and company standards
• Ensuring all appliances are tested thoroughly, with accurate labelling and clear identification of pass/fail status
• Maintaining detailed and accurate records of testing results, including equipment condition and any remedial actions taken
• Identifying, reporting, and escalating any electrical hazards or faults discovered during testing
• Providing clear and professional advice to clients on the ongoing maintenance, usage, and safety of electrical appliances
• Managing your daily workload efficiently to meet deadlines and customer expectations
• Representing the company in a professional manner while on client sites

This role involves travel to various commercial locations, so flexibility and a customer-focused approach are key.

What do I need to be successful in the role?

To succeed in this role, you’ll need:

• A City & Guilds 2377 qualification in Portable Appliance Testing (or equivalent recognised certification)
• A good understanding of current electrical safety standards and regulations
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to maintain accurate records
• Good communication skills and the confidence to advise clients on safety and compliance matters
• The ability to work independently, manage your time effectively, and use initiative
• A full UK driving licence (as travel to various sites will be required)

Experience in a similar role or environment is desirable but not essential—we’re open to newly qualified testers with the right attitude and qualifications.
