Apprentice Gas Engineer

As an Apprentice Gas Engineer (Plumbing route), you’ll begin by learning core plumbing skills so you can confidently carry out repairs such as fixing leaks, installing pipework, repairs and installations, as well as supporting heating system maintenance. After completing your Level 3 plumbing qualification, you’ll move into a 1‑year role as a Plumbing Improver, working more independently and building your practical experience.  Once you’ve developed the right skills and knowledge, you’ll progress to learning gas work, including servicing, safety checks and repairs, under the guidance of qualified Gas Engineers. This apprenticeship gives you a clear step‑by‑step route into a specialist trade, helping you become a safe, confident and fully trained Gas Engineer.
