About The JIB Card

What Is A JIB Card?

The JIB (Joint Industry Board) card — often issued through the Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) or JIB-PMES for mechanical engineering services — proves that the holder has the right qualifications, training and identity checks to work as an electrical or mechanical engineer on site.

Like CSCS cards, JIB cards are colour-coded to reflect the holder's grade, from apprentice through to approved electrician or engineering manager.
