Gas and home safety engineer - keeping homes safe and warm

Job Description

Gas and Home Safety Engineer - Keeping Homes Safe and Warm

£46,337 per annum | Bath-based, field across the South West

Permanent | Full Time | 40 hours per week

Every Home. Every Customer. Every Visit.

Behind every job on your list is a customer waiting for you. Sometimes it’s their annual service. Sometimes the heating’s gone out and they’ve got young kids at home. Either way, they need someone who knows what they’re doing and treats their home with respect.

We’re recruiting a Gas Safe registered engineer to join our Property Maintenance and Repairs team. You’ll carry out gas servicing, breakdowns and repairs across our customers’ homes, alongside wider home safety checks that keep our residents safe and warm.

This is a field-based role with the kit, the patch and the support to do your work properly. No racing the clock. No corners cut on safety. Just good work, done well, with customers who appreciate it.

What you’ll be doing

• Carrying out gas servicing, maintenance, breakdowns and repairs to a high technical standard, aiming for a first-time fix wherever you can
• Completing wider home safety checks alongside the boiler — smoke alarms, fire doors, thermostatic mixing valves, unvented cylinders, asbestos and Radon — and acting on what you find
• Diagnosing issues accurately and keeping current with regulations, Gas Safe requirements and technical bulletins
• Explaining what’s needed to customers in plain language, so they know what’s happening and why
• Making properties safe where a full repair isn’t possible on the first visit, and booking the follow-up
• Carrying out a dynamic risk assessment on every job and working safely throughout
• Keeping accurate records on our systems, managing your van stock, and looking after your equipment and vehicle
• Sharing what you know with the wider team, joining toolbox talks, and helping the service improve

What you’ll get in return

Beyond a salary of £46,337 and the chance to do work that genuinely matters, you’ll get:

• A company van for use during working hours, taken home each day
• 26 days annual leave per year (plus bank holidays) rising to 29 days after 3 years
• Your birthday off as an extra holiday
• Up to 10% matched pension contribution
• Free parking at many of our locations
• Flexible benefits which might include a Health Cash Plan
• Access to an Employee Assistance Programme for your own wellbeing

More about you

You’re a qualified gas engineer who is technically strong and takes pride in doing the job properly. You’re confident diagnosing problems, working across different systems, and keeping your knowledge current as regulations evolve. You’re just as comfortable in someone’s home - explaining what you’re doing, listening to what they need, and leaving things as you found them.

Essential:

• ACS qualifications including CCN1, CENWAT, HTR1 and CKR1, with current Gas Safe registration
• A recognised trade qualification (City & Guilds, NVQ Level 2 or equivalent practical experience)
• Demonstrable experience of gas servicing and diagnostic work in domestic properties
• Strong technical ability — sound diagnostic skills and the initiative to make good decisions on the job
• A full UK driving licence
• Confident with mobile devices for managing jobs and records
• A basic DBS check will be required for this role

We value transferable experience. If you’ve worked in a private gas company, contractor, or housebuilder and you’re looking for a role where the work is steady, the customers are people not numbers, and your safety standards are taken seriously - we’d love to hear from you.
