  • Use and maintain calibrated test instruments (multifunction testers, insulation resistance, RCD, earth loop, etc.).
  • Liaise with clients and site teams to schedule and complete testing with minimal disruption.
  • Maintain accurate records and ensure all works meet health, safety and quality standards.
