Job Description
JR PAT Testing is an expanding PAT and Compliance company currently looking for engineers to join our team in Bloomsbury. We offer self‑employed positions with flexible hours, allowing interested individuals to work part‑time or full‑time.

To apply, you must have transport or means to get to work and equipment, hold a City & Guilds 2377 PAT qualification or equivalent, be reliable and honest, and have a ‘can‑do’ attitude. All necessary equipment, including testing instruments, measuring devices, and additional tools, must be kept up‑to‑date, in good working order, and meet relevant regulations.
If this PAT Testing job in Bloomsbury seems right for you, then please get in touch – we look forward to hearing from you!
A typical day of a portable appliance testing (PAT) engineer
As a PAT engineer, no two days are the same. From hospitals to retail outlets, you’ll find yourself working in a variety of locations and environments.
A typical day starts with packing up all the necessary tools and equipment – including testers and record books – into the van before setting off to the first job.
Once on site, you’ll test all appliances, such as microwaves, kettles and computers that require PAT testing. This involves using various test instruments designed to check whether electrical items are safe for continued use or need to be replaced or repaired. You’ll also need to inform users of the results and explain why certain appliances may be unfit for use.
After testing, you’ll record your findings in a dedicated PAT test report book or an electronic system and provide employers with a copy. You may also be required to fill out additional paperwork such as completion certificates and checklists.
Throughout the day you’ll be on the move from one location to another – either alone or as part of a team – so it’s important to stay organised and ensure all tests are completed accurately and efficiently.
It takes skill, experience and patience to be successful in this role, but the rewards are great. As a PAT testing engineer, you’ll help keep workplaces safe and develop your own knowledge and expertise.
