🧰 Specialist job type
— firestopping, electrical test, pump maintenance, standby, EM/PAT, site audit (tap to open)
🔥 Firestopping job
Tick for fire-stopping works. The engineer fills the Record of Installation Activities (RIA) form — per-seal photos, products used and a signed declaration — and completing the job produces the PDF + product-spec bundle.
⚡ Electrical test
Tick for an electrical test (EICR etc.). On the job the engineer records a
remedial works list
— each item with a code (C1/C2/C3/FI), what needs doing, rough duration, an approximate material cost and photos. When you get the order, one tap on the job turns those remedials into a new works job to allocate.
🚰 Pump Maintenance
Which pump / store
Loading stores…
Tick for a sump-pump monthly maintenance visit. Pick the store — the engineer gets that store's set form (a required safety pre-check, the location & method instructions, the monthly Yes/No/N-A checklist, photo & video upload, and both signatures). Completing it submits it for office review, which files a Mostlane PDF to the site.
🛟 Standby / fallback job
Makes this a
dormant fallback
— it won't show on the board, scheduler or any engineer's list. It sits in the fallback pool so you can set it as an engineer's fallback (Scheduler → 🛟 Fallbacks). It's only made live for a day when that engineer has no other work.
Allocate for / Assign to below are ignored when this is ticked.
Compliance test type
💡 EM light test
(3-hour drain-down)
🔌 PAT testing
EM test:
Yearly — 3-hour drain-down
Monthly — flick / function test
🔄 Refresh EM numbers
Auto-fills the certificate-import text + duration. Yearly EM = 3h (PAT runs in the first 45 min); Monthly EM flick test = 30 min; PAT alone = 45 min. EM cert numbers come from last year's compliance certs.
🔍 Site audit builder →
A site audit is its own builder — import a Site Audit Pro PDF, add per-item photos, and raise one job with an audit checklist. Opens the Site Audit page.
On-site requirements

Requires customer signature

Requires completion note
Projects default to none — a project job can be completed with nothing. Tick any to require it on this job.
