How to find work after obtaining Level 3 Diploma?

[NewSpark29]

Hey guys,

Sorry to bother you all and any information you give me will be greatly appreciated.

I have recently completed my Level 3 diploma in electrical installations. I now wish to find work as an electrician's mate. However, I did not realize you needed an employer reference to get an ECS card. What are the options that I have and what do you recommend I do to find work in the industry?

My plan was to get the ECS card and do the 18th edition and then begin to enter the industry. I noticed some companies accept a CSCS card but not many and the work is not easy to find. Are there any other ways to get the ECS labourer card?

You don't need employers reference to obtain an ECS card, those without the level 3 need references from employer.
