The opportunity
Join a high-performing MEP principal contractor with a strong pipeline of complex projects. You’ll be the go-to AP(LV) on flagship sites—controlling LOTO and power-on, setting the standard for ESSW/BS 7671 compliance, and keeping programmes on track.

Plan, allocate and supervise all LV test activities; manage tester resourcing, access and programme.
*
Set up and maintain the digital test folder and dashboards; ensure results are uploaded within 24 hours and schedules (sub-mains, finals, earthing, modular wiring, ATS) stay live.
*
Verify installations to BS 7671 / GN3 and emergency lighting to BS 5266; complete DB/earth bar checks, inspection reports and snag lists; drive close-out of NCRs.
*
Manage switchgear FAT/SAT, protective-device settings and torque checks; control requests for power and isolations, LOTO, permits and key control; keep schematics and gateway trackers current.
*
Review test results, brief the T&C Manager/PM on out-of-tolerance findings, and coordinate client witnessing and evidence for NICEIC certification; attend commissioning meetings and support handover packs.
*
Provide client/operatives’ training when required; adopt an out-of-hours approach where necessary to protect completion dates.

How to turn parallel test streams into a controlled, auditable process that aligns with programme and ESSW.
