You will be working for Cadent Gas, the largest Gas Distribution Network in the UK, as a Lead Gas Engineer in the Emergency Response Team, locally known as a First Call Officer (FCO).

You will mainly work on your own and be the first one on the scene at customers' homes, responding to reported gas escapes or carbon monoxide activated alarms. Working on both contracted and emergency jobs, you'll deal directly with customers and the emergency services. Confident and self-sufficient, you'll also carry out scheduled installation, replacement and maintenance of gas meters for both domestic and commercial properties.

You'll monitor gas readings on programmed escapes and perform medium rise, high rise and gas safety regulation surveys. In addition, you'll fit cooker safety valves, attend meter faults, purge and relights and much more.

No two days will be the same as you meet all kinds of people and work in a variety of different locations. You'll experience a great sense of pride, knowing that by attending a CO escape or meter fault you're helping to save lives. Even fitting a cooker locking valve gives you the satisfaction of knowing that a vulnerable person can safely stay in their own home. And, the feeling you get from solving a problem and going above and beyond to help a customer is truly rewarding.
