The Opportunity
Are you an experienced Commercial Gas Engineer or Building Services Engineer looking to move away from a fully field-based position and into a technical supervisory role?
We are recruiting for a Technical Operations Supervisor to support the day-to-day performance of a busy mobile engineering team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced engineer who enjoys solving technical problems, supporting other engineers and coordinating maintenance works. The position offers a greater office-based focus while allowing you to continue using your practical knowledge of commercial gas, heating and building services systems.
You do not necessarily need to have previously held an Operations Supervisor title. Full training and support will be provided, with additional supervisory responsibilities introduced as you develop within the role.
Practical gas engineering experience is essential for this position.

* Assisting with quotations for remedial works, repairs and urgent client requests

* Assisting with Risk Assessments, Method Statements and site audits
* Ensuring job information, engineer updates and operational records remain accurate

* Knowledge of CAFM or maintenance management systems
* Understanding of statutory maintenance and compliance requirements
* Experience preparing or reviewing quotations
* IOSH Managing Safely or a similar qualification
