satisfy the insurance requirements under section 51; and

satisfy the regulator that electrical work to be performed by the applicant as a licensed electrical contractor is proposed to be—

performed by a qualified technical person for the applicant under the person’s electrical work licence; or

The regulator must endorse the electrical contractor licence with the name of at least 1 qualified business person and 1 qualified technical person for the applicant.
