The Domestic Gas Remedial Engineer will diagnose faults, complete follow-on repairs arising from gas safety inspections and ensure work meets current safety, quality and compliance standards.

* Undertake gas pipework repairs, upgrades, capping, purging and leak rectification.
* Diagnose boiler, heating and hot-water faults accurately.
* Carry out boiler and HIU breakdown repairs where suitably qualified.
* Complete gas servicing when required by operational demand.
* Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
* Explain work clearly to residents and minimise disruption within occupied properties.
* Record work accurately using a PDA, including job updates, logs and timesheets.
* Work safely and comply with all relevant gas, health and safety requirements.
* Maintain the company vehicle and report faults or servicing requirements promptly.
* Participate in toolbox talks and a call-out rota where required.
* Support apprentices where appropriate to your experience and competence.

To succeed as a Domestic Gas Remedial Engineer, you must have:
* Current ACS qualifications, including CCN1, CPA1, CKR1, HTR1 and CENWAT.
* Current Gas Safe registration or the qualifications required to work under the employer’s registration.

* A sound understanding of domestic gas safety and compliant working practices.
* The ability to diagnose faults and complete repairs safely.
* Good communication and customer-service skills.
* The ability to complete electronic job records using a PDA.
* A full, clean UK driving licence.
* The ability to work independently while contributing to the wider operational team.
Applications are welcomed from newly qualified engineers. More experienced candidates should be able to demonstrate a strong background in domestic gas servicing, breakdowns or remedial work.
Preferred Experience
* Boiler breakdown and fault-finding experience.
* Experience working in social housing or occupied domestic properties.
* HIU certification or practical HIU experience.
