• Engineers must have a permit to operate for them to carry out work, therefore, you will train and assess engineers, as they go through the process of obtaining this.
• Training will be delivered to both skilled and unskilled individuals as well as commercial delivery, so you will conduct robust assessments and provide developmental feedback.

Day to day you will:

• Train new starters and assess capabilities in line with internal and external standards;
• Assess engineers at renewal dates;
• Maintain up to date knowledge of smart meter installations through practical installs;
• Provide technical and operational reports to key stakeholders;

• You will also have experience as a Dual Fuel Smart Meter Engineer and hold valid CCN1 and MET1 accreditations.
• You will also have Internal & EUSR accreditation - Single phase, Single off Multi, Multi Rate and Multi Phase.
• This role comes with a car allowance, so will be required to hold a full UK driving licence for travel to field assessments with apprentices and new engineers.
• Using your motivational and communication skills you will have the ability to lead and inspire learners in an engaging environment.
• Your role might involve having access to some sensitive information, so you'll most likely need to go through some enhanced security vetting.

Our employees, just like our customers come from all walks of life, and we're fuelled in championing diversity, inspiring an inclusive culture, and enabling an environment where you can be your authentic self.
