Experience and Qualifications

Finding a job as an Electrician’s Mate will be easier if you have some previous experience in the electrical trade.  Most electrical companies and self-employed electricians running their own businesses will be looking to recruit someone with at least basic electrical knowledge and has already developed their practical skills, but many trainees are willing to work as mates whilst studying at college.     Employers will be looking to recruit on a labour only basis but will offer either PAYE (on the cards) or Sub-Contract terms (Self-Employed) so be sure to check the job spec or ask before applying for the post.  Electrical qualifications may not be essential for some smaller electrical contractors but larger companies and employment or recruitment agencies will probably require candidates to hold relevant up to date certification.  A JIB card and a CSCS card could also be a requirement if applying for a post through an agency.

Types of Electrician’s Mate

Those working as an Electrician’s Mate tend to fall into two categories:

• Electrical Improvers working as Mates whilst studying.
• Those content to remain working as Electrician’s Mates without undertaking further qualifications.

Electrician Improvers would normally be over Electrical Apprentice age and studying to attain fully qualified electrician status.  Working as an Electrician’s Mate can be an excellent way of gaining experience of electrical work whilst building on your existing skills.  The Electrical Installation Qualification NVQ Level 3 and City and Guilds courses require ‘on the job’ assessments which can only be carried out whilst working in the electrical trade.  Electrical Improvers may also wish to obtain Self-Certifying status under Part P of the Building Regulations.

Some Electrician’s Mates are content to remain working under the supervision of a fully qualified electrician and don’t wish to attain  further electrical qualifications.  Electrician’s assistants and mates will always be an integral part of the electrical industry’s workforce due to their wealth of knowledge and experience.  They will often be able to carry out tasks normally undertaken by qualified electricians at lower rates of pay.   Health & Safety and location specific qualifications and certification may be required such as CompEX training for explosive atmospheres.
