• Working safely and professionally within live retail environments, minimising disruption to staff and customers.
• Ensuring all works are completed in accordance with RAMS, permits to work and relevant health & safety requirements.
• Completing all required work-related documentation accurately and within agreed timescales.

• Strong commercial gas and heating experience.
• Current commercial gas qualifications, ideally including COCN1 alongside relevant commercial appliance and pipework modules.

• Strong fault-finding and diagnostic ability.
• Commercial gas installation and commissioning experience.

For the right engineer, this presents an opportunity to join at an early stage, establish themselves within the team and progress as the business continues to expand.
