At MSV Housing we’re committed to making sure our customers have safe, warm and good quality homes, and our Gas Engineers are key to making this happen. We are looking to recruit an experienced Gas Engineer with strong technical and customer service skills to join our established team. Reporting to the Gas/Service Manager, our Gas Engineers provide a comprehensive service including annual gas servicing, breakdown diagnosis and repair, and installation of heating systems across our housing stock. In addition, we are looking for candidates that have a passion to advocate on behalf of people and communities.

• Install, service, and upgrade domestic heating systems in line with schedules, budgets, and regulatory standards.
• Diagnose and repair faults across heating and plumbing systems, ensuring high-quality and safe workmanship.
• Provide excellent customer service by liaising professionally with residents, managing appointments, and ensuring satisfaction on completion.
• Ensure full compliance with Gas Safe, HSE, and company policies, including issuing certification and maintaining accurate records.
• Support efficient service delivery by managing materials, maintaining tools and vehicles, contributing to team performance, and participating in out-of-hours emergency call-outs.

What we are looking for?

• Valid ACS qualifications and Gas Safe registration, with relevant City & Guilds certification.
• Proven experience as a Gas/Heating Engineer, delivering servicing, repairs, and installations.
• Strong technical knowledge of domestic (and ideally commercial) heating systems, including fault diagnosis and maintenance.
• Good understanding of health & safety regulations (including Gas Safe and HSE compliance).
• Excellent customer service and communication skills, with the ability to build positive relationships with residents and stakeholders.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team, managing workload effectively with minimal supervision.
• Full, current UK driving licence.
• A proactive approach with the ability to identify improvements and contribute to service quality.

This is a hands‑on role at the heart of the service that MSV delivers to our customers, so your effective communication skills and ability to understand with empathy the diverse needs of our customers will be key. You’ll be based in the communities we serve and will work under minimum supervision and as part of a team using a flexible approach.

MSV are also committed to supporting you to balance work and life, including with any caring or parental responsibilities you might have, and have a range of flexible working options and wellbeing support available to all colleagues to facilitate this.
