JR PAT Testing is an expanding PAT and Compliance Company currently looking for engineers to join our team in Tooting Bec. We offer self‑employed positions with flexible hours, allowing interested individuals to work either part‑time or full‑time.

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 be successful, you must hold a City & Guilds 2377 PAT qualification or equivalent, be reliable, honest, and possess a ‘can‑do’ attitude. All necessary equipment, including testing instruments, measuring devices, and additional tools, must be kept up to date and meet relevant regulations.

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 all necessary tools and equipment (testers, record books) into the van before heading to the first job.

On site you test appliances such as microwaves, kettles and computers, using instruments to verify safety or need for repair. You inform users of results and explain why certain appliances may be unfit for use.

After testing, you record findings in a dedicated PAT test report book or electronic system and provide employers with a copy. You may also fill out additional paperwork such as completion certificates and checklists.

Throughout the day you’re continually on the move from one location to another – either alone or part of a team – so staying organised and ensuring accurate, efficient tests is vital.
