[adensparky]

I am currently looking for electricians with either niceic or napit registration to carry out domestic pv installations across the South Yorkshire area. You will be working as part of a well established installation team carrying out one install per day six days a week. A van is provided as well as a fuel card and all materials so you will incur no costs whatsoever We have a backlog of work stretching over six months with the promise of two installations per day in the summer months. Previous domestic experience is essential but solar pv experience can be obtained on site.wages on price per install basis Excellent rates of pay for the right candidates and immediate starts available ring Aden on 07791947903 or Regards

Wow, that sounds to good to be true!

What about Elecsa, BSI or Stroma registration? In fact, why do they need to be registered at all? Surely you want them to be qualified right? In which case their qualifications are what you need to be asking for, not registration to a corporate body?!

As I understand but maybe wrong, some corporate bodies cover more for PV than others, it is a little different from conventional electrical work.

 

[D Skelton]

The main contractor (the OP) will be registered with whoever he needs to be though won't he, why does the subcontractor need to be registered at all? Surely their level of qualification is more important?!

As I understand it the OP is looking for NICEIC/Napit because he somehow believes these to be A. Proof of cometence and B. The only scam bodies available to choose from.

Not really I guess is the best way I can put it, he may well be MCS accredited purely because he is good at paperwork, but he still needs a qualified electrician to install and issue a cert for the electrical work and if I remember right the bodies mentioned cover the spark to install panels under the competent persons scheme and the others do not.


It is a little like a builder getting a contract to build a house, he will still need the various qualified trades to be able to issue the certs, this can be in house or subbed out..

unfortunately that would also mean the spark was signing off the roof work for building regs, which I think makes them liable for that should the main company go bust.

 

[D Skelton]

You're right, he needs a qualified spark, but it is not up to them to be registered, it is up to the firm! He is the employer!

 

[D Skelton]

If a large electrical firm wanted to utilise me and my guys to carry out work, we would do it as subcontractors, we would certify our work, but we wouldn't notify anything, that is up to the main firm!

 

[Earthstore]

That is what happens under MCS but you need the part p cert to accompany the reams of paperwork, the spark does not notify...
