- Gas safety inspections and certification (CP15 / CP17)
- Planned and reactive maintenance
- Diagnosing and repairing faults on larger systems
- Compliance with Gas Safe and site H&S requirements
- Participation in an on‑call rota (additional allowance paid)
This is a static, well‑organised site, with good access to equipment and minimal interruptions.
What We’re Looking ForEssential:
- Gas Safe registered
- Commercial ACS: COCN1, CDGA1, ICPN1 (or equivalent)
- Proven experience working on commercial gas systems
Desirable:
- Large‑site or FM environment experience
- Salary up to £43,000
- On‑call allowance and overtime opportunities
- Permanent, long‑term contract
- Predictable workload and structured hours

Working at a secure site like HMP Northumberland offers:
