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, as an experienced PAT tester, 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. On site, you test all appliances such as microwaves, kettles and computers that require PAT testing, using various test instruments to check whether electrical items are safe for continued use or need to be replaced or repaired. You also inform users of the results and explain why certain appliances may be unfit for use. Once all testing is complete, you record your findings in a dedicated PAT test report book or onto an electronic system and provide employers with a copy. Additional paperwork such as completion certificates and checklists may be required. You will be constantly on the move from one location to another – either alone or 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 be helping to keep workplaces safe while developing your own knowledge and expertise.
Overall, PAT testing is an exciting job that is both physically and mentally demanding. It’s a career that provides plenty of variety and opportunities for advancement – so if you’re looking for a challenge, this could be the perfect role!
If you think you have what it takes to be a PAT tester, we invite you to apply and start your journey today.
