FIELD BASED ELECTRICAL INSPECTION & TESTING ENGINEER
Bristol / M4 & M5 Corridor + UK Travel
Permanent | 40 Hours | £40,000-£50,000 DOE
Company Van | Fuel Card | All Expenses Paid | Paid Overtime | Excellent Benefits | Funded Training
Are you a qualified Electrician with electrical inspection and testing experience looking for something a little different from the usual electrical role?
We are recruiting for a Field Based Electrical Inspection & Testing Engineer to join an established specialist business, carrying out electrical inspection, testing and remedial work across a varied portfolio of venues throughout the UK.
You'll work across entertainment venues, educational establishments, conference facilities and other specialist sites, combining local work throughout the M4/M5 corridor with planned UK travel.
This is a permanent, hands-on role offering autonomy, variety and excellent opportunities to further develop your technical qualifications.
The Role
Your responsibilities will include:
- Carrying out Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)
- Electrical installation inspection and testing
- In-Service Inspection & Testing (PAT)
- Electrical installation and remedial works
- Producing accurate reports and technical documentation
- Assisting with quotations for remedial works
- Providing customers with technical advice on electrical safety
- Supporting PPM and other inspection activities
- Working independently on customer sites and acting as the responsible person when required
- Ensuring work and documentation meet relevant HSEQ and company standards
Travel & Working Away
This is a field-based role involving regular UK travel, so applicants must be comfortable working away from home.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Working away will involve a mixture of individual nights and blocks of several days. There is no fixed pattern, although much of the travel is planned and booked months in advance.
The busiest periods tend to fall during school holidays, balanced with significant local work throughout the M4/M5 corridor.
When working away:
- All business expenses are covered
- Hotels are booked in advance by the company's Resourcing Team
- A company credit card is provided for breakfast and evening meals
- Company van and fuel card provided
Hours & Overtime
This is a 40-hour salaried position.
Due to the nature of the role, there isn't a fixed point after which additional weekday hours automatically become overtime.
Night and weekend shifts are rare. Where required, overtime is paid at time-and-a-half or double time, depending on when the work is undertaken.
What We're Looking For
All applicants must be time-served electricians and hold:
- Level 3 Technical Certificate
- Level 3 NVQ
- 18th Edition Wiring Regulations
- Relevant electrical inspection and testing experience
- Experience completing EICRs or demonstrable equivalent experience
- Electrical installation and remedial experience
- Good reporting and documentation skills
- Ability to work independently and confidently with customers
- Flexibility to travel nationally and work away from home
Salary: £40,000-£50,000 Depending on Experience & Qualifications
Candidates at the top end of the salary range will need a Level 3 Inspection & Testing qualification, such as City & Guilds 2391 or equivalent, together with at least two years' demonstrable commercial inspection experience.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Don't Have Your 2391 Yet?
Don't let that stop you applying.
Experienced electricians who meet the core qualification requirements and already have relevant inspection experience will still be considered towards the lower end of the salary range.
Importantly, the company can provide technical training where required, including C&G 2391, subject to the appropriate training agreement.
Package & Benefits
Alongside a salary of £40,000-£50,000, the package includes:
- Fully expensed company van
- Hire vehicle provided until successful completion of probation
- Fuel card
- Option to apply for personal use of the permanent company van following probation
- All hotels and business travel expenses covered
- Company credit card for breakfast and evening meals when working away
- Laptop and mobile phone
- All test and access equipment provided
- Uniform and PPE
- Full H&S training including IPAF, PASMA and First Aid
- Technical training and development where required
- Healthcare cash plan
- 24/7 GP service
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Pension
- Employee rewards schemes
- Option to purchase additional holiday
- Giving Back Days
- Bursary scheme
- Bonus scheme
You'll only need to provide your own basic hand tools.
Interested?
If you're an experienced Electrician who enjoys variety, is comfortable travelling and wants to develop further within specialist electrical inspection and testing, I'd love to hear from you.
