The job
Plenty of people finish college with a Level 3 diploma and then cannot find a firm willing to give them the site experience and the AM2. That is the gap this role fills. You will work with a qualified electrician on every job, log your hours, and we will book and pay for your AM2 when you and your mentor agree you are ready. On passing you move to the qualified electrician rate. We want someone who already knows the theory and wants to get good at the practical side, quickly.
What we're looking for
- City & Guilds 2365 Level 2 or Level 3, or 2357 Level 3, or an equivalent EAL qualification
- 18th Edition (City & Guilds 2382) or willing to sit it in your first three months, paid by us
- Full UK driving licence
- Right to work in the UK
- ECS card at any grade, or willing to apply for one
What we'll check
We tell you up front so there are no surprises, and so you can have the numbers ready.
- Identity and right to work documents
- Certificate numbers for every qualification you list, which we verify with City & Guilds or EAL
- ECS card number and expiry, checked on the ECS register
- Driving licence and a DVLA check code for points
- Two references, one from your college tutor or last employer
- Basic DBS check on offer
What to photograph and attach
Attach these to the form below. A phone photo is fine as long as the whole document is in shot and the numbers are readable.
- Level 2 and/or Level 3 Diploma certificates (City & Guilds 2365-02, 2365-03, or EAL equivalents), showing the certificate number.
- 18th Edition certificate (City & Guilds 2382-22 or 2382-24) if you have it; we pay for it if not.
- Your ECS card, front and back, at whatever grade (Apprentice, Trainee, Labourer).
- Driving licence photocard, front only.
- Right-to-work documents shown in person at interview, not uploaded.
How we verify it
| Document | What we do with it |
|---|---|
| City & Guilds certificates | Certificate number and candidate enrolment number checked through the City & Guilds certificate verification service, or by ringing the college that ran the course. |
| EAL certificates | EAL's online certificate verification using the certificate number and learner name. |
| AM2 / AM2S | NET (National Electrotechnical Training) confirms a pass against the candidate number. |
| ECS card | ECS Check online or the ECS Check app: card number, grade, expiry and the qualifications registered against it. |
| Driving licence | A DVLA licence check code (gov.uk, 'View or share your driving licence') shows points, categories and validity for 21 days. |
| DBS | Status check on the DBS Update Service with the certificate number and consent, or a new basic check through the office. |
| Right to work | Original documents seen in person at interview, or a Home Office online share code for those with digital status; recorded before the start date. |
| References | Two referees rung by the office after interview, with one question about dates and role put to the previous employer in writing. |
If something on that list is a problem, apply anyway and tell us. Points on a licence, a gap in work, an old conviction: we've hired people with all three. What we won't accept is a certificate number that doesn't check out.
