• Staff discounts for shopping and gym memberships

• Ability to do compressed working hours to allow for a day off every week in agreement with management.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll undertake gas work to help repair, maintain, adapt, and refurbish a range of council properties which are vacant, non- vacant and leasehold. You’ll deal with tenants, lease holders and other stakeholders, to find out what needs doing, advise on the best approach, and keep them up to date on progress. This means working closely with other Engineers, sharing tips, organising your work to meet deadlines, and making sure you leave everything clean and tidy. In regular contact with managers, you’ll let them know about any health and safety issues and make sure all the relevant gas safety checks, certificates and documents are filled in correctly.

What you’ll need

With valid ACS qualifications (CCN1, CENWAT, CPA1) you’ll have experience of carrying out servicing and maintenance on gas appliances and domestic heating systems. You’ll be used to doing a variety of work, including tracing gas faults, finding solutions, and installing works to meet design plans and current building regulations. You’ll have good time management skills, along with the ability to work with a range of customers and vulnerable people at all levels. That means you’ll need to be a confident communicator, with a friendly and professional attitude.

You’ll need to have a full driving licence.
