• In addition, this Gas Engineer role requires diagnosing and resolving faults on commercial boilers and heating systems, including lockouts, pressure issues, and circulation faults.

• You will service and repair a range of gas appliances, including warm air units and radiant tube heaters.

• As an active Gas Engineer, you will identify and rectify gas-related issues such as pipework leaks, faulty valves, and ignition or pilot failures, while troubleshooting and repairing control systems like thermostats, sensors, and actuators.

• You will also perform general building maintenance, including basic electrical, carpentry, painting, and minor fabrication, and utilize mobile technology and internal systems to manage work orders.

• Furthermore, a Gas Engineer will partner smoothly with planners, colleagues, and store managers, complete administrative tasks, support operational objectives, and take a turn on an on-call rota.

Candidate Requirements and Qualifications

• To qualify for this Gas Engineer position, you must hold valid commercial gas qualifications such as COCN1, CIGA1, CDGA1, and TPCP1/1A.

• You need to demonstrate robust knowledge and practical experience of commercial heating systems, boilers, and associated plant equipment.

• We require proven experience working in a retail, commercial, or multi-site maintenance environment.

• You should possess proven multi-trade capability covering general building upkeep beyond core gas work.

• Candidates must have strong fault-finding and repair skills, paired with a proactive and customer-focused approach.

• Clear verbal and written interpersonal skills are essential for effective interaction with customers and colleagues.

• You will need a flexible mindset driven by a commitment to continuous learning.
