About the role

 

As part of our Emergency Response Team, you’ll be the first on the scene at customers’ homes, which makes you the face of our brand for people who are worried about potential gas escapes or carbon monoxide activated alarms.

 

Sometimes you’ll be dealing with the emergency services on behalf of our customers, making you part of a team that’s responsible for protecting people’s lives. They could be vulnerable, elderly, or simply looking for help, and it’s that level of empathy, plus the pride you’ll feel from caring for people and keeping them safe in their homes that could make you a Cadent person.

 

It’s a role where no two days are the same, so from installation, replacement, and maintenance of gas meters for our home and business customers, to high rise and gas safety regulation surveys, to fitting cooker safety valves, when we say it’s a varied role, we mean it.

So, what's in it for you?

  • 33 days holiday, inclusive of bank holidays
  • A company van (Work purpose use only)
  • Subsidised Gympass membership
  • Pension Scheme – with company contributions double matched up to 12%
  • Retail and Leisure discounts 
  • Flexible Benefits, including private medical, cycle2work scheme, childcare vouchers, car lease, gadget discounts, plus much more!
  • Monthly performance bonus
  • Unlimited access to our Occupational Health and Employee Assistance Programme services – Caring for your physical and mental wellbeing
  • Continuous support, learning, and development to help you soar in an environment where you’ll feel you belong. 

 

A bit about us

 

We’re Cadent, and we’re changing the face of energy forever.

We deliver gas to eleven million homes and businesses within the East of England, whilst operating and looking after the largest gas distribution network in the UK and managing the national gas emergency service freephone line on behalf of the whole gas industry.

You can help us keep people warm, protect the planet, and enjoy tons of support and development opportunities to help you thrive because together, we’ll fuel a career as unique as you are.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for excellent communication skills and the ability to keep calm under pressure. You must have  either a CCN1 or CMA1 qualification to apply.

An understanding of Standards, Legislation, Codes of Practice and Health and Safety is also important, and you’ll need a full UK driving licence too.

But ultimately, it’s about pride, purpose, thinking on your feet, and taking ownership. That’s what will make you a perfect fit in our team.
