Job Opportunities in PAT Testing

Details: DRA PAT Testing Limited

We are looking to appoint a new PAT tester to our team.

As one of the UK’s leading providers of electrical equipment safety testing, demand for our services is high, so we are continually looking to expand our team in the North East.

The role will require you to carry out inspection and testing of electrical equipment, and produce results/reports that meet the standards of the business as well as the requirements of British Standards.

PAT engineers can work independent or as part of a team, at customer sites throughout the region. We work in all types of workplace so variety is a big benefit of the working day, meeting new people and new experiences.

What makes us different? Most PAT companies promise you high wages if you meet impossible targets – we’re more realistic. The salary we offer is the minimum you will be paid. You can earn more easily; we pay you door to door, this means from the moment you leave the house until you get home again that evening. The 8 hour working day may or may not include travel time depending on the job(s) assigned to you, so can earn more there. You will be paid mileage at 25p per mile rising to 35p after 12 months service, so again opportunity to earn more.

We pay you ‘per hour’ worked, not salary, so you earn what you work, which fairer for you and gives you more opportunity to earn more. Wages are paid on 1st working day of each month, in arrears. You manage your own timesheet.
