Support and train team members in PAT processes, equipment use, and safety procedures.
Monitor equipment condition and escalate any faults, defects, or trends to the Asset Manager for investigation or repair.
Liaise with other departments to coordinate the flow of equipment to and from testing, minimising disruption to warehouse operations.
Ensure the PAT workspace remains organised, safe, and compliant with company and H&S standards.
Analyse testing data to identify potential bottlenecks or patterns that could inform future maintenance or purchasing decisions.
Assist the Asset Manager in planning and reporting on test compliance rates and scheduling forecasts.
Undertake additional electrical safety, inspection, or stock control tasks as required by the Asset Manager.

Essential Requirements

Experience performing or supervising Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) – formal qualification desirable but not essential (training provided).
Strong organisational and planning skills with the ability to manage testing schedules across large inventories.
Analytical mindset with the ability to forecast, plan ahead, and identify potential issues before they arise.
Ability to motivate and develop a small team, promoting a positive and efficient working culture.
Excellent communication skills, with the confidence to liaise across departments and maintain accurate records.
Competent IT user, with good working knowledge of Microsoft 365 Suite (Excel, SharePoint, Forms).
High attention to detail and a methodical approach to record keeping.
Physically fit and able to handle manual tasks safely.
Self-motivated, proactive, and capable of working independently and under pressure.
Strong commitment to safety, quality, and continuous improvement.
