Here are some examples of what's possible with ESVConnect, This is Bill. As the nominated technical supervisor for sample electrical proprietary limited, Bill regularly uses the services of Jenny Sparks who is an independent licensed electrical inspector. The employees of sample electrical can use ESVConnect to purchase and complete certificates for prescribed and non prescribed electrical installation work using their own profiles on the sample electrical account using an online workflow process.
Certificates will move through the system in My Installations from draft to complete. If certificates that are incomplete or have errors will stay in the system under review until they can be completed or corrected. As the nominated technical supervisor Bill will use ESVConnect to nominate LEI Jenny Sparks to carry out an inspection of prescribed electrical installation work. Once Jenny has inspected the work she will complete the certificate of inspection using ESVConnect.
