We are recruiting for a well-established energy solutions provider specialising in temporary and rapid-deployment commercial boiler systems. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Commercial Gas Engineer who is confident working on large-scale plant in a reactive hire environment.
The role is primarily depot-based in Redditch when not attending installations, commissioning, servicing or breakdowns across the UK.
The Role
Installation, commissioning and decommissioning of temporary commercial boiler systems (600kW–2MW, gas and oil)
Servicing and fault finding on commercial plant
Reactive breakdown response
Working on forced draft burners and associated equipment
Fault finding and working with BMS controls
Supporting depot preparation and maintenance activities when not on site
Ensuring high standards of safety, workmanship and customer service
Working collaboratively within a team-focused environment
This is a reactive role rather than planned maintenance. Engineers must be comfortable responding to urgent requirements and adapting to changing priorities.
Requirements

Full and clean UK driving licence

Flexible approach to working hours, including occasional long days and varied weather conditions
Strong work ethic and team-oriented mindset
