About Us
Calbarrie Compliance Services Ltd provides electrical safety testing and compliance services across the UK, covering fixed installations, portable appliance testing, emergency lighting, thermal imaging and remedial works.
Calbarrie works across facilities management, retail, commercial, education and local authority sectors, with a strong focus on repeat business and long-term client relationships.
Part of the Celnor Group
Celnor Group is a UK-based environmental services group operating across the Testing, Inspection, Certification and Compliance (TICC) landscape. With a growing portfolio of specialist businesses, Celnor provides essential services that protect people, property and the environment.
While each business retains its own identity, culture and technical specialism, all are supported by a central group function that invests in people, systems and long-term sustainable growth.
About the Role
We are looking for PAT Test Engineers to join our team, working from a home base in the Hertfordshire / Bedfordshire area (LU, AL, SG postcodes) and the surrounding areas.
The role involves the inspection and testing of portable appliances on commercial sites. You will work solely on commercial sites, including facilities management, retail, commercial, education, councils and local authorities. We do not carry out domestic housing work.
You will use our bespoke testing software, built with engineer input over a number of years and designed entirely around speed and efficiency of testing. If you have ideas to improve it further, we want to hear them, and feedback is regularly built into future updates.

A method statement is agreed with the client before you arrive on site, so expectations are clear from the outset.

Work is organised on a regional basis, so while we try to reduce travel time where we can, we are not able to guarantee work will always be local.
You are contracted to 40 hours per week, with overtime opportunities available for those looking to earn more. There may be occasions when out of hours or weekend work is required depending on client access and site type.
