• 18th Edition
• 2391 or equivalent inspection and testing qualification
• Experience carrying out EICRs
• Strong knowledge of BS 7671
• Full UK driving licence
• Ability to complete reports accurately and on time

Desirable but not essential

• Experience carrying out remedial works
• IPAF / PASMA
• Experience with compliance contracts
• Ambition to progress into a senior tester, QS or compliance role

Package

You will not just be another number. You will be joining a company that values quality, supports development and offers genuine earning potential through overtime.
