Working with RF.

What we need from subcontractor companies — and the portal that keeps it all in date.

Subcontractors

Compliance, before mobilisation.

We work on data centres, fabs and pharmaceutical plants where nobody gets through the gate without paperwork that stands up. So we ask for it once, up front, and we keep it current — rather than chasing certificates the week a crew is due on site.

Every subcontractor company we engage gets a private login to our compliance portal. You maintain your own company details and your own staff records in it, and you can see at a glance what is approved, what is pending and what is about to expire.

If you are an individual electrician rather than a company, apply through Careers instead.

How it works

Six steps to approved.

01

We issue your login

One account per company. You set your own password on first sign-in.

02

You complete the company profile

Registered name, address, company and VAT numbers, and your contact for site.

03

You upload company documents

Insurance, tax clearance and safety documentation, each with its expiry date.

04

You add your staff

Every operative working under your company, with card numbers, expiries and qualifications.

05

We review and approve

Each document is checked. Anything that doesn't match gets sent back with a note.

06

The portal tracks expiry

Certificates approaching expiry are flagged before they lapse, not after.

Your data

Uploaded documents are stored outside the public website and are visible only to your own account and to RF Electrical staff reviewing them. We hold worker records for as long as you are engaged with us plus any period we are required to retain them for, and we will delete them on request once that period has passed.
