Job title: Domestic Gas Engineer

Location: Leeds — sites mainly in the North of England, with occasional Midlands and South travel

Terms: Full-time, Permanent, Monday–Friday (0900-17.30), lone working

The Role

Our domestic gas engineers work across large residential blocks and individual apartments in the property and housing sector, so day-to-day tasks vary depending on the property. Work will mainly consist of servicing, repair, installation, and fault-finding on domestic gas boilers and appliances, unvented hot water cylinders (G3), and general heating systems.

This role involves working independently. You will attend properties on your own, without on-site supervision, so you must be confident making safe technical decisions, managing your own day, and following our lone working procedures.
