We are recruiting on behalf of a well-established energy solutions provider specialising in temporary and rapid-deployment commercial boiler systems. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Commercial Gas Engineer who is confident working on large-scale plant in a reactive hire environment.

- Fault finding and working with BMS controls
- Supporting depot preparation and maintenance activities when not on site
- Ensuring high standards of safety, workmanship and customer service

- Full and clean UK driving licence

- Strong work ethic and team-oriented mindset
