Tasks attached to the job
Every checklist lives on the job itself, so the engineer opens the job in the app and sees exactly what has to be done before they leave site.

Job checklists that make sure every job is done right
Give your team task lists that must be ticked off on site. Gaffer job checklists make sure nothing gets missed, work is done to standard, and every job is signed off properly — whether it is run by you or an engineer you have never met on site.

How job checklists work in Gaffer
Required items block sign-off
Mark steps as required and the job cannot be marked complete until they are all ticked — so safety checks and finishing tasks never get skipped.
Reusable templates
Build a checklist once for a boiler service, fixed-wire test or bathroom install, then apply it to every matching job so the process is identical every time.
Photos & notes per item
Attach a photo or a note to any task — a before-and-after shot, a meter reading, or a reason something could not be completed — all stored against the job.
Live progress for the office
Back at base you can see which items are ticked in real time, so you know a job is genuinely finished before you invoice the customer.
Works fully offline
Checklists are part of the offline-first mobile app, so tasks get ticked in a loft or a basement with no signal and sync the moment a connection returns.
What you get
Job checklists are built for the way UK trade teams actually run jobs on site — from one-person operations to multi-van firms.
- Standardised steps so every engineer does the job the same way
- Required items that stop a job being closed before it is truly done
- Reusable templates per job type, trade or customer
- Photo and note evidence captured against each task
- A clear audit trail of who ticked what and when
- Confidence to send new or subcontracted staff to jobs solo
- Tighter quality control before you raise the invoice
Common questions about job checklists
Can I make a checklist mandatory before a job can be marked complete?
Yes. You can mark items as required so a job cannot be signed off or marked complete until every required task is ticked, which stops corners being cut on site.
Do job checklists work in the mobile app and offline?
Yes. Checklists live in the offline-first Android app (iOS coming soon), so engineers can tick tasks, add photos and notes with no signal and everything syncs automatically once they are back online.
Can I reuse the same checklist across similar jobs?
Yes. Build reusable checklist templates once and apply them to any matching job type, so every boiler service, EICR or install follows the same steps every time.
Are job checklists included in the free trial and the standard price?
Yes. Job checklists are part of the core platform and included in your 14-day free trial with no card required, and in the standard Gaffer subscription at no extra cost.
