Looking for More Than Just Another Electrical Testing Role?

We're seeking an experienced Electrical Test & Inspection Engineer to join a specialist technical maintenance team working across a diverse portfolio of commercial and infrastructure sites throughout London, the Southeast and, occasionally, the wider UK.

This position offers a genuine mix of inspection, testing, fault-finding and maintenance work, providing variety, autonomy and long-term career development within a growing and highly respected technical business.

If you're an engineer who enjoys working independently, takes pride in producing high-quality certification, and thrives in a field-based environment, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role

As an Electrical Test & Inspection Engineer, you'll be responsible for carrying out periodic inspections, testing and certification of commercial electrical installations and associated infrastructure.

Key duties will include:

  • Conducting Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)
  • Inspection, testing and certification of electrical systems
  • Testing distribution boards, circuits and three-phase installations
  • Identifying, recording and reporting electrical defects
  • Fault-finding and diagnostics across commercial electrical systems
  • Carrying out minor remedial works where required
  • Producing accurate electronic reports and certification
  • Supporting planned and reactive maintenance activities
  • Ensuring all work complies with current BS7671 Wiring Regulations
  • Working safely at height and using access equipment when required
  • Travelling throughout London, the Southeast and wider UK locations

This is predominantly a field-based role, giving you the freedom to manage your own workload while being supported by an experienced technical and operational team.
