Your new job

Are you a brilliant Gas Engineer looking to further your career with a purpose led organisation who really cares about their people? Good, our Gas team is expanding and has exciting opportunities for you to join us working around the Wiltshire area.

You’ll bring your proven track record of servicing gas boilers & repairs in a domestic dwelling to support the Wiltshire heating team. Your work is scheduled in for you and jobs are shared with you via an electronic handheld device (your PDA) so you’ll be comfortable using technology and IT systems.

You’ll work alone primarily, so you’ll be confident working to your own initiative, but you will get plenty of support from your regional supervisor, James. The team get together for team meetings, these are face to face now our offices are open, you’ll attend toolbox talks for regular training and company updates.

You’ll be given a company vehicle to get around our communities, so you’ll need a full UK driving licence. You’ll primarily be working in the Wiltshire region but may be required to work across the wider Area if there’s business need.

You’ll be an ambassador for us with a “can do” attitude and a right service, first time mentality. You’ll enjoy providing high quality service to our customers whilst being the friendly face of Aster.

About You!

You’ll have a time served plumbing and heating apprenticeship or hold a gas qualification (NVQ or equivalent) with proven experience of working in domestic dwellings. You’ll also hold CCN1, CKR1, HTR1 & CENWAT1 qualifications and if you’ve got an oil qualification that would be great (don’t worry if not though, we will train you up). If you’ve worked in social housing that’s a bonus but is not essential.

As a gas engineer, you’ll know that safety is priority therefore you’ll have knowledge and understanding of gas safety regulations and will carry out all works in line with this. You’ll also have a good understanding of health & safety regulations.

You’ll be motivated with a focus on customer service as you’ll be in our customers’ homes every day. You’ll also liaise with our internal colleagues to ensure works are completed and any ongoing works are logged appropriately. You’ll have a flexible approach to work with the ability to take part in an out of hours standby rota within your region.

You’ll be able to work effectively in a team and autonomously when necessary and have enthusiasm for providing excellent customer service and an ability to keep calm in difficult situations. Good communication skills both verbally and written are essential for this role. You will need to be willing and able to meet face fit requirements. As mentioned, you’ll be provided with a company van so you’ll need a full, UK driving licence.
