The job

Our electricians run their own jobs. You will survey, quote with the office, do the work, test it, and talk to the customer, with a second person on the bigger jobs. The mix is about two thirds domestic (consumer units, rewires, EV chargers, EICRs) and one third commercial (fit-outs, fixed-wire testing, emergency lighting). You will have your own van from day one and the same customers year after year. We are a small team with very low turnover; the last person to leave went to start their own firm, and we still send them work.

What we're looking for

  • Level 3 electrotechnical qualification (City & Guilds 2357, 2365 plus NVQ, or equivalent) and AM2
  • 18th Edition BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 (City & Guilds 2382-22)
  • ECS Gold card or Installation Electrician card
  • At least two years post-qualification experience in domestic or commercial installation
  • City & Guilds 2391 inspection and testing is an advantage, or we will put you through it
  • Full UK driving licence with no more than three points
  • Right to work in the UK

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, verified with the awarding body
  • ECS card number, grade and expiry, checked on the ECS register
  • Driving licence and a DVLA check code
  • Two references from previous employers, which we take up by phone
  • Basic DBS check on offer, enhanced for school and care-home work

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 3 NVQ or apprenticeship certificate (City & Guilds 2357, 2346 experienced worker, 5357, or the Level 3 standard certificate), showing the certificate number.
  • AM2 or AM2S certificate from NET, with the candidate number.
  • 18th Edition certificate, BS 7671:2018 (City & Guilds 2382-18, 2382-22 or 2382-24).
  • City & Guilds 2391 inspection and testing certificate if you have listed it.
  • Your ECS card, front and back (Installation Electrician or Approved Electrician gold card, or Experienced Worker).
  • Driving licence photocard, front only, and a DVLA licence check code if you have points.
  • Right-to-work and identity documents shown in person at interview, not uploaded.

How we verify it

DocumentWhat we do with it
City & Guilds certificatesCertificate number and candidate enrolment number checked through the City & Guilds certificate verification service, or by ringing the college that ran the course.
EAL certificatesEAL's online certificate verification using the certificate number and learner name.
AM2 / AM2SNET (National Electrotechnical Training) confirms a pass against the candidate number.
ECS cardECS Check online or the ECS Check app: card number, grade, expiry and the qualifications registered against it.
Driving licenceA DVLA licence check code (gov.uk, 'View or share your driving licence') shows points, categories and validity for 21 days.
DBSStatus check on the DBS Update Service with the certificate number and consent, or a new basic check through the office.
Right to workOriginal documents seen in person at interview, or a Home Office online share code for those with digital status; recorded before the start date.
ReferencesTwo 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.
