Job Description
JR PAT Testing is an expanding PAT and Compliance Company currently looking for engineers to join our team in Leytonstone. We offer self‑employed positions with flexible hours, allowing interested individuals to work either part‑time or full‑time.
Although we understand that some may travel further afield, we require that all applicants have a reasonable commuting distance of Leytonstone or closer.
This role offers potential earnings on a pro‑rata basis depending on the rate per appliance, the number of tests and job dynamics. Our jobs range from one‑day projects to long‑term contracts, allowing us to discuss all details and determine what works best for you.
To apply, you must have your 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.
A typical day of a portable appliance testing (PAT) engineer
As a Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) engineer, no two days are the same. From hospitals to retail outlets, you’ll find yourself 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 will also need to inform users of the results and explain why certain appliances may be unfit for use.
When all testing is complete, you’ll record your findings in a dedicated PAT test report book or onto 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 constantly 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.
