As a PAT engineer, each day is varied. From hospitals to retail outlets, you will travel to different locations on your van, bringing testers, record books and other instruments. You will test appliances such as microwaves, kettles and computers, then inform users of results and explain any concerns.

After completing tests you will record findings in a dedicated PAT test report book or electronic system, provide employers with a copy, and complete any required paperwork such as completion certificates and checklists. Being constantly on the move requires organisation and accuracy.

The role is both physically and mentally demanding, rewarding, and offers opportunities for advancement.
