Thinking about PAT Testing this week, we’ve come up with seven great reasons to be a PAT testing technician working in the electrical industry.
- Working for yourself: One big plus to the PAT testing world is that it is very straight forward to set up and work for yourself, eliminating the need to answer to a boss and allowing you the freedom to work whenever it suits you.
- Choose the contracts you want to accept: If you work for yourself, you will also be able to choose the contracts you do and don’t want to work on, allowing you the freedom to decide on the contracts which are the most enjoyable, profitable and interesting
- See different places everyday: The ability to move around and see different and interesting places every day is a real plus. While office workers are stuck at their desks, you can be travelling to new and exciting locations.
