Commercial Gas Engineer

Build a long-term career — not just your next job We’re expanding our commercial gas team across Devon and the South West due to growth on long-term contracts.

Before we get into the day-to-day, here’s what really matters:

Career progression — the real kind At Sherwoods, progression isn’t rushed and it isn’t based on empty promises.

Several members of our senior leadership team started with us as apprentices . They learned the trade properly, proved themselves over time, and progressed because they were ready — not because of a job title being dangled in front of them.

That’s exactly how we still do things today.

We won’t promise you a supervisor role in three months.

What We Will Offer Is

• A stable, growing business
• Clear opportunities as the company expands
• Support, training, and trust as you develop
• A long-term career path if you want one

If you’re good at what you do, committed, and want to grow, we’ll back you.
