The job
Testing and inspection is now a third of what we do and Paul cannot do it all. You will run periodic inspections on commercial premises, landlord portfolios of flats and guest houses, emergency lighting and fire alarm servicing, and produce reports customers can actually read. You will need to be comfortable explaining a C2 to a landlord without either frightening them or letting it slide. Four-day weeks are fine for this role.
What we're looking for
- City & Guilds 2391-52 (or 2391-50 and 2391-51) inspection and testing
- Level 3 electrotechnical qualification and 18th Edition
- ECS Gold card
- Experience producing EICRs on commercial and multi-occupancy premises
- Full UK driving licence
- 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 2391 and the Level 3, verified with City & Guilds
- ECS card number and expiry
- Sample of an EICR you have produced (with the customer's details removed)
- Two references, basic DBS 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 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
| 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.
