Plumbing and Gas Foundation Engineer

Plumbing and Gas Foundation Engineer - Build Your Gas Ticket With Us

Every Home. Every Customer. Every Visit.

Behind every job on your list is a customer waiting for you. Sometimes it’s a leak that’s been driving them mad for a week. Sometimes the heating’s gone out and they’ve got young kids at home. Either way, they need someone who knows what they’re doing and treats their home with respect.

We’re recruiting a Plumbing and Gas Foundation Engineer to join our Property Maintenance and Repairs team. You’ll bring an NVQ Level 2 in heating and plumbing and hands-on experience to match. We’ll bring a fully funded route to becoming Gas Safe registered — and the work, the team and the support to get you there.

The pathway is structured. A foundation qualification at gas college, delivered in week-long blocks one week a month for six months. Then around twelve months building a portfolio of gas work on the job, with qualified engineers around you. Then back to college for sign-off and your ACS exams. We pay for it. You qualify with Curo.

What you’ll be doing

• Carrying out heating and plumbing repairs, servicing and installation within your current qualifications — gravity and pressurised systems, S and Y plan, unvented cylinders, radiators.
• Diagnosing issues accurately and explaining what’s needed to customers in plain language.
• Making properties safe where a full repair isn’t possible on the first visit, and booking the follow-up.
• Shadowing qualified gas engineers and building a portfolio of gas work in preparation for your ACS exams.
• Attending gas college one week a month for six months to complete your foundation qualification.
• Supporting wider home safety checks alongside the qualified engineer — smoke alarms, fire doors, thermostatic mixing valves, unvented cylinders, asbestos and Radon.
• Carrying out a dynamic risk assessment on every job and working safely throughout.
• Keeping accurate records, managing your van stock, and looking after your equipment and vehicle.

What you’ll get in return

Beyond a salary of £37,997 and a fully funded route to becoming Gas Safe registered, you’ll get:

• A company van for use during working hours, taken home each day
• 26 days annual leave per year (plus bank holidays) rising to 29 days after 3 years
• Your birthday off as an extra holiday
• Up to 10% matched pension contribution
• Free parking at many of our locations
• Flexible benefits which might include a Health Cash Plan
• Access to an Employee Assistance Programme for your own wellbeing

More about you

You’ve got your NVQ Level 2 in heating and plumbing and the hands-on experience to back it up. Whether you came up through college, an apprenticeship, or worked your way up on site, what matters is you can do the work — and you’re ready for what comes next.

For you, that next thing is gas. You’ve been looking for a structured route in without going self-employed or paying for it yourself. That’s exactly what this role offers.

You’re also up for the study. You’ll be doing the day job and the college work side by side for the best part of two years, so you need to want it.
