• Proven experience in a supervisory, lead engineer or site management role
• Strong background in plumbing and gas engineering (domestic and/or commercial)
• Excellent understanding of plant rooms, heating systems and pipework layouts
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings
• Experience managing multiple engineers and coordinating workloads
• Confident communicator with strong leadership and mentoring ability

Qualifications (typical / desirable):
• Gas Safe registered (CCN1, CENWAT, CKR1, HTR1)
• NVQ / City & Guilds in Plumbing & Heating
• CSCS / CITB card
• Commercial gas qualifications (advantageous but not essential)
What’s in it for you?
• Overtime opportunities / additional earning potential
• Company vehicle or allowance
• Pension and holiday package
• Ongoing training and development support (including commercial upskilling)
• Clear progression pathway into senior management
