Job Description
We offer self‑employed positions with flexible hours and the option to work part‑time or full‑time.
This role involves performing portable appliance testing (PAT) across a variety of sites such as hospitals and retail outlets, recording results in a dedicated test report or electronic system, and providing employers with copies.
Key responsibilities include:
* Testing a range of appliances (microwaves, kettles, computers, etc.) using appropriate instruments
* Recording findings and completing necessary paperwork, such as completion certificates and checklists
* Informing users of test results and explaining why appliances may be unfit for use

A typical day of a Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) Engineer
As a PAT engineer, each day brings new challenges. You will start by packing your tools into a van, travel to the first site, conduct tests, record results, and repeat the process for multiple jobs throughout the day.
Your work will be physically and mentally demanding, requiring organisation and accuracy. If you enjoy variety and the chance to keep workplaces safe, this role may be for you.
With our framework, you can negotiate rates based on the number of tests and job dynamics.
