Commercial Gas Engineer
North West / East Midlands / West Midlands

£40,000 - £45,000 Basic + Paid Travel + Overtime + Annual Bonus

Permanent | Monday to Friday | 8:00am - 4:30pm

An established M&E and building services business is looking to add experienced Commercial Gas Engineers to its mobile service team, supporting a large portfolio of secure government sites across the North West and Midlands.

The vast majority of the work, approximately 90%, is carried out on prison estates. You'll be responsible for keeping commercial heating and mechanical systems running reliably through servicing, PPM, fault diagnosis and reactive repairs.
Engineers can be based across the North West, East Midlands or West Midlands, although the East Midlands is particularly well suited to the current contract coverage. You'll need to be happy travelling throughout the wider region, but there are no overnight stays.
Travel outside normal working hours is paid at an enhanced rate, overtime is readily available and the standby rota currently works out at just 1 week in 10.

The Role
This is a mobile service and maintenance position covering commercial heating, gas and wider mechanical building services equipment across secure sites.
You'll have responsibility for your own workload and will deal with a mixture of routine servicing, planned maintenance and breakdown work.
Plant and equipment you'll encounter includes:

Commercial gas boilers
Oil-fired boilers and burners
Heating pumps and associated equipment
Air Handling Units (AHUs)
Mechanical ventilation systems
General HVAC and M&E plantA good level of fault-finding ability is important. The position suits an engineer who is comfortable looking beyond the boiler itself and diagnosing issues across the wider heating and mechanical system.
Jobs, reports and compliance information are recorded through a tablet-based CAFM system.
There is a broad regional patch across the North West and Midlands, although the position does not involve working away from home.

Key Responsibilities

Complete planned servicing and preventative maintenance on commercial heating systems.
Attend reactive faults and diagnose issues with gas, heating and mechanical equipment.
Service and repair commercial boilers and associated plant.
Fault find across pumps, AHUs, ventilation and other HVAC equipment.
Maintain oil-fired plant where your qualifications and experience allow.
Carry out remedial repairs and ensure systems are left operating safely and correctly.
Complete gas safety, statutory and compliance documentation.
Record completed works and service information accurately using the CAFM system.
Follow the additional security and working procedures required on prison sites.
Support the out-of-hours service on a 1 in 10 standby rota.
Paid Travel, Overtime & Call-Out
Your contracted hours are 8:00am - 4:30pm, Monday to Friday.
Travel completed outside these hours attracts an enhanced payment. With a large regional portfolio, this can add a worthwhile amount to annual earnings, with engineers often picking up additional paid travel hours during a normal working week.

There is also scope to earn more through overtime, with enhanced payments applying to additional hours depending on when they are worked.
Standby is currently only 1 week in every 10 and pays a £100 allowance for the week.

When an engineer is required to attend an out-of-hours breakdown, a minimum three-hour payment applies.
The management team screens reactive calls before contacting the standby engineer. This helps avoid unnecessary journeys, with an engineer only attending when the issue actually requires someone on site. Around three to four attendances would be considered a busy call-out week.

What You'll Need
We're looking for Commercial Gas Engineers with solid service, maintenance and breakdown experience on commercial heating equipment.
Ideally, you'll hold a selection of current commercial ACS qualifications such as:

COCN1 / ICPN1
CIGA1
CDGA1
CORT1
TPCP1AHolding every qualification above isn't essential. More important is a strong commercial gas background,…
