The Opportunity

We are currently recruiting for an experienced Electrical Testing Manager to join a leading electrical contractor working closely with Harrods.

This is a key client-facing position, responsible for overseeing electrical testing and inspection activities across the Harrods estate, ensuring works are completed to a high standard and that all testing, certification and remedial requirements are properly managed.

The successful candidate will have a strong background in EICR testing, inspection and quality management, with proven experience working on aged and existing electrical installations rather than solely new-build environments.

Building strong relationships with the Harrods client team will be a crucial part of the role, so excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential.

Key Responsibilities

  • Schedule electrical testing works on a day-to-day basis and maintain a 4-week forward lookahead.
  • Review test sheets and documentation received from overnight testing teams.
  • Carry out regular spot checks of electrical installations to ensure testing has been completed thoroughly and accurately.
  • Review and collate photographs, test results and supporting documentation.
  • Oversee and assist with the completion of EICR and electrical test certificates.
  • Identify and assess remedial works arising from testing activities.
  • Provide accurate costings for remedial electrical works.
  • Price and plan additional ad hoc electrical and small works as requested by the client.
  • Maintain accurate filing, records and testing documentation.
  • Monitor the quality and progress of testing teams and ensure works are delivered in line with client expectations.
  • Act as a key point of contact between the electrical contractor, testing teams and the Harrods client team.
  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with client stakeholders.
  • Provide technical support and guidance where required.
  • Assist with the planning and coordination of remedial and small electrical works.

Essential Requirements

  • Currently working as an NICEIC Qualified Supervisor (QS), or have previously held this position and be willing to undertake the role again.
  • 2391 Inspection & Testing qualification.
  • Current experience managing or supervising EICR / electrical testing teams.
  • Proven experience carrying out EICRs on aged, existing and complex electrical installations.
  • Strong understanding of electrical inspection, testing and certification.
  • Comfortable working in a high-profile, client-facing environment.
  • Ability to build effective working relationships with clients, engineers and subcontractors.
