THIS IS A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY FOR AN ENTHUSIASTIC AND HARD WORKING DOMESTIC GAS ENGINEER WITH A ‘CAN DO’ ATTITUDE WHO IS WILLING AND ABLE TO UPSKILL TO BECOME A COMMERCIAL GAS MAINTENANCE/REPAIR ENGINEER.

We offer a variety of work, with each day rarely being the same. Each client’s property varies in size and sector and most of our work is on commercial premises, but we also have a small number of domestic properties we look after for some long-standing clients. Nearly all sites we look after are in Yorkshire or immediately surrounding areas, which means our engineers don’t need to travel all over the country and can start/finish work at a sensible time.
The day to day will involve maintaining and repairing a variety of commercial and domestic heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), water/plumbing, and electrical plant and equipment such as boilers, warm air heaters, burners, etc; for our varied client base. Each day would involve travelling directly to/from our sites undertaking maintenance/repair works, and regularly liaising with the Operations Team over the phone and through our cloud-based job management software, as necessary. We operate a 24-hour emergency call-out service, so taking part in a Rota with other engineers would also be required (approximately one week out of every five).
Domestic gas maintenance/fault-finding experience and tickets are essential and some commercial exposure even if only a little would be preferred. A basic electrical understanding would be preferred for the interaction with mechanical plant, as would any installation experience or familiarity/qualifications with other plant and equipment such as oil/LPG heating/hot water/combustion plant, catering equipment and/or air conditioning.
Sharing knowledge and experience with apprentices and other staff is important, and we encourage the upskilling of our team through investing in additional training; from obtaining extra tickets such as oil through to a whole new qualification like FGAS.

SKILLS REQUIRED:

  • Must have a strong background in domestic gas maintenance/repair and all relevant gas qualifications
  • Must be interested in learning about commercial maintenance/repair and becoming a commercial engineer.
  • Must have a full UK driving license.
  • Must be able to work well alone as well as part of a team.
  • Must have excellent communication skills and interact well with customers.
  • Must be punctual, reliable, and professional.
  • Must be willing to share knowledge and experience to help other engineers/apprentices and those who are not technical.
  • Preferred some exposure to commercial gas maintenance/repair.
  • Preferred basic electrical knowledge for interaction with mechanical plant.
  • Preferred experience in other trades/qualifications such as oil/LPG/air conditioning.
  • Preferred experience in installation/replacement of HVAC plant/equipment.
    Robinsons Facilities Services Ltd is an equal opportunities employer. Further information on our company’s ethos, including our Mission, Vision and Values, can be found on our website https://www.robinsonsfs.com/.
