## About the Role

## Description

We are looking for PAT Test Engineers to join our team, working from a home base in the Hertfordshire / Bedfordshire area (LU, AL, SG postcodes) and the surrounding areas.

The role involves the inspection and testing of portable appliances on commercial sites. You will work solely on commercial sites, including facilities management, retail, commercial, education, councils and local authorities. We do not carry out domestic housing work.

You will use our bespoke testing software, built with engineer input over a number of years and designed entirely around speed and efficiency of testing. If you have ideas to improve it further, we want to hear them, and feedback is regularly built into future updates.
A method statement is agreed with the client before you arrive on site, so expectations are clear from the outset. We focus on larger sites and bigger jobs wherever possible, giving engineers the opportunity to stay on site longer and earn more. Work is organised on a regional basis, so while we try to reduce travel time where we can, we are not able to guarantee work will always be local.

You are contracted to 40 hours per week, with overtime opportunities available for those looking to earn more. There may be occasions when out of hours or weekend work is required depending on client access and site type.

Key Responsibilities

 * Carrying out portable appliance testing across a range of commercial sites
 * Completing minor remedial works where required
 * Producing accurate test reports to be quality checked by our Technical Manager
 * Working closely with the Technical Manager and Operations team
 * Using our bespoke testing software, designed for speed and efficiency
 * Working across facilities management, retail, commercial, education and local authority sites
 * Helping identify ways to improve testing software and processes, Celnor Group and its businesses manage recruitment directly. We do not require agency support for this role and will only engage with recruitment partners from our preferred supplier list where necessary.
We may use technology, including AI-enabled tools, to support parts of the recruitment process. AI is not used for candidate screening, scoring or hiring decisions. All hiring decisions are made by people, for people. Our recruitment systems are ISO 42001 accredited, reflecting our commitment to ethical, transparent and responsible use of technology.
