Commercial Gas Engineer

Commercial Gas Engineer
Location: Redditch (Depot-Based with UK Travel)
Salary: £40,000 – £50,000 per annum (Dependent on Experience) + Overtime + Enhanced Out of Hours Rates
We are recruiting for 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.
The role is primarily depot-based in Redditch when not attending installations, commissioning, servicing or breakdowns across the UK.
The Role

• Installation, commissioning and decommissioning of temporary commercial boiler systems (600kW–2MW, gas and oil)
  
• Servicing and fault finding on commercial plant
  
• Reactive breakdown response
  
• Working on forced draft burners and associated equipment
  
• 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
  
• Working collaboratively within a team-focused environment
  

This is a reactive role rather than planned maintenance. Engineers must be comfortable responding to urgent requirements and adapting to changing priorities.
Requirements

• Strong commercial background (not domestic-focused)
  
• Proven experience working with boiler sizes from 600kW to 2MW (gas/oil)
  
• Experience with forced draft burners (essential)
  
• Working knowledge of BMS systems
  
• Experience within the hire industry or a similarly reactive environment is highly desirable
  
• Full and clean UK driving licence
  
• Willingness to travel and occasionally stay away (typically 1–2 nights for complex installations)
  
• Flexible approach to working hours, including occasional long days and varied weather conditions
  
• Strong work ethic and team-oriented mindset

• Yard-based: 08:00–17:00 – standard daily pay

This is an opportunity to join a growing organisation operating within a fast-paced commercial environment, offering strong earning potential for engineers who thrive in reactive, hands-on roles.
