You'll be working on appliances including Vaillant and Worcester boilers, managing a busy workload and providing a professional service to residents.

On-target earnings of approximately £60,000 with overtime and call-outs.
Company van and fuel card.
Company uniform and flue gas analyser provided.
£160 weekly standby payment during winter call-out weeks.
Call-out payments at time and a half Monday–Saturday and double time on Sundays.

Mandatory out-of-hours rota, currently approximately 1 week in 4, with the potential to reduce to 1 in 5 or 6 as the team grows.
Permanent PAYE employment.
Two-day induction, including PDA training and accompanied jobs.
Long-term opportunities across established social housing contracts.

As a Gas Engineer, you will be:

Carrying out domestic gas servicing and breakdown repairs across social housing properties.
Completing landlord gas safety checks and associated appliance safety inspections.
Diagnosing faults and completing repairs on domestic boilers, predominantly Vaillant and Worcester.
Undertaking occasional smaller works, including radiator replacements, gas runs and pipework repairs.
Managing a busy daily workload, sometimes reaching 15 jobs per day.
Using a PDA to manage appointments and record completed work.
Participating in the mandatory out-of-hours call-out rota.
Responding to emergency uncontainable leaks within the required four-hour timeframe.
Working respectfully and professionally in residents' homes, maintaining high standards of safety and compliance.

I'd love to speak to anyone who has:

Around five years' relevant gas engineering experience, ideally within social housing.
Strong experience working as a Gas Engineer, carrying out domestic servicing, fault finding and breakdown repairs.
Relevant domestic gas qualifications, including CCN1 and cooker competency, alongside the appropriate ACS qualifications for the appliances being worked on.
Experience working on Vaillant and Worcester boilers would be advantageous.

A basic DBS dated within the last six months, or the ability to obtain one.
Availability to participate in the mandatory out-of-hours rota.

Location & travel
The roles will primarily cover West and North West London, with a particular focus on the UB and TW postcode areas. Ideally, candidates will live within approximately 20 miles of the working patch, with realistic travel times of around 30–45 minutes. Consideration will also be given to travel requirements during emergency call-outs.

Interviews
Interviews are one stage and will take place face-to-face at the company's offices, with the hiring manager and operations manager. The interview will include questions about previous experience, situational scenarios and a gas knowledge assessment. This technical assessment is not pass or fail.

An early start is preferred, with the earliest anticipated start date being the 23rd, subject to availability and successful completion of the recruitment process.
