- Planned and reactive maintenance
- Diagnosing and repairing faults on larger systems
- Compliance with Gas Safe and site H&S requirements
- Participation in an on-call rota (additional allowance paid)
This is a static, well-organised site, with good access to equipment and minimal interruptions.

Essential:
- Gas Safe registered
- Commercial ACS: COCN1, CDGA1, ICPN1 (or equivalent)
- Proven experience working on commercial gas systems
Desirable:
- Large-site or FM environment experience

- Salary up to £43,000
- On-call allowance and overtime opportunities
- Permanent, long-term contract
- Predictable workload and structured hours
- 33 days holiday including bank holidays
- Strong pension scheme
- Training, upskilling and long-term stability
About the Site
Working at a secure site like HMP Northumberland offers:
- A stable, organised working environment
- No public or customer interaction
- Planned access to plant and equipment
- Clear procedures and strong on-site support
While security protocols apply, engineers work as part of an established on-site team with structured access and clear processes. We’re all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities, and we celebrate diversity. We’re an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be natural, and be the best versions of themselves. We recognise that we’re on a journey with regards to diversity and inclusion and would therefore welcome applications for candidates from underrepresented backgrounds. We’re a Disability Confident Leader employer. We’re committed to changing attitudes towards disability, and making sure disabled people have the chance to fulfil their aspirations. We run a Disability Confident interview scheme for candidates with disabilities who meet the minimum selection criteria for the job.
