  • We are looking for someone who is able to service & repair heating & hot water systems to a high standard, also part of the job involves small plumbing jobs.
  • The main work would be calling out to private domestic customers to service their gas appliance or repair it.
  • We would like the engineer to have good communication skills and be able to work well under pressure.
  • Gas safe Registered is a must. Having OFTEC and LPG is desirable but not essential.
  • Working week is 40 hours, Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm.
  • Overtime and weekends are an option.
  • We will supply a new, sign written van with all the main power tools and equipment, iPhone for work communications, fuel card and uniform.

We are a business that works proactively when it comes to employment and always pays someone what they are worth regardless of how long they have been here. We truly feel that if we pay someone their worth and look after that person they will become a loyal and satisfied person and it’ll show in their work.

We have a great team in place to offer “on the tools” support with our installation manager and service & operations director bringing a high level of support when needed on site. We also have a full time delivery driver so waiting for parts to arrive on site is minimal.

We also invest heavily in training, we want all of our engineers to hold the core gas, LPG, OFTEC, unvented and so on, as you’ll see from a search on us on the Gas Safe website you’ll see most engineers have LPG etc. We attend many manufacturers courses and can upskill a new employee with any additional qualifications including Air conditioning and renewable qualifications if needed. Our training scheme normally starts 12 months after starting the job.

Being a family business we hope the same family “feel” and family principals come across with how we handle the business and how we handle situations.
