Introducing ESVConnect

To streamline processes for the
Victorian electrical industry energy
safe Victoria has consolidated its
paper-based application systems into a
new online service introducing ESVConnect.

ESVConnect brings the convenience and ease of online
applications to benefit the industry. Licensed 
electrical workers and registered electrical 
contractors known as RECs can purchase and register a
certificate of electrical safety from
the convenience of their smartphone
tablet laptop or desktop computer.

Licensed electrical workers and RECs
can apply and maintain their electrical
licenses and registrations online.

Electrical Inspectors can also apply
renew and maintain their license apply
for extra classes and manage
certificates of Electrical Safety with
our new system, and eligible trades
people such as plumbers and
refrigeration mechanics can apply and
maintain their restricted electrical
workers license using the service.

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. 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.

Meet Pat. Pat was employed as a licensed
electrical worker for Sample Electrical.
the time has come for Pat to renew his A
Class electricians license.

He can now renew and maintain his
licenses online using ESVConnect. Pat's
neighbor Jack has just qualified as the
refrigeration mechanic. She needs to 
apply for a restricted electrical workers 
license and can do this using ESVConnect. 
once Pat and Jack have set up or confirmed their
profile on ESVConnect they will be guided 
through the system based on their responses 
to questions, qualifications, employment 
status and the license type
they want to apply for.

Pat and Jack will now be able to maintain 
all aspects of their licenses via ESVConnect.

If you're a licensed electrical worker or manage
the administration of an electrical contractor 
as a Technical Supervisor or Business Supervisor,
you'll need to register for access to ESVConnect.
