Gas Engineer

Heathstead is looking for experienced, reliable and professional Gas Safe Registered Engineers to join our growing subcontractor network.

We provide gas, electrical and maintenance services across London, Surrey, Hertfordshire and surrounding areas, with additional opportunities available further afield for engineers willing to travel.

We are looking for all types of gas engineers, including domestic, commercial and multi-skilled engineers, to support our expanding workload.

About the Work

The work is mainly reactive breakdowns, fault finding, servicing, repairs and remedial works. There may also be opportunities for planned maintenance, block servicing, landlord gas safety certificates and installation work depending on your qualifications and experience.

Boiler servicing and maintenance
Landlord Gas Safety Certificates
Reactive gas repairs
Remedial works following breakdown diagnosis
Block servicing and planned maintenance
Domestic gas works
Commercial gas works, where qualified

Installation works, where suitable

If a fault cannot be fixed on the first visit, you will be expected to provide a clear job report confirming what was diagnosed, what work was carried out, whether any temporary repair was completed to restore supply, and what remedial work is required.

Engineers who are happy to complete follow-on remedial works will be preferred.
