  • Careers

    Gas engineers do far more than install and fix boilers – with the right training, they can work with a whole range of gas appliances in both domestic and commercial settings, opening the door to a rich and rewarding career where no one day is like the next. For most people, a gas engineer is a helpful expert who makes sure domestic gas systems are correctly installed and running smoothly. In more troubled times, they’re even the hero who comes in at inconvenient times, ready to fix a boiler on the blink in the bitter cold of midwinter. However, that’s not all a gas engineer does.

    This is a role that will have you wearing many different hats – and one where you’ll never be bored with routine, as every job and every day bring new challenges. As a gas engineer, your job is to solve gas-related problems in domestic and commercial settings, and often with constraints.

    It’s also a role that’s suited for people who enjoy working with other people and helping them. You’ll spend a lot of time in other people’s homes and workplaces, typically installing, servicing, and repairing various gas appliances and central heating systems.

    Being a gas engineer is sometimes seen as a hard job. It can certainly be challenging. Despite this, figuring out solutions to complex gas and heating problems can be incredibly satisfying, while the excellent salary and prospects for career advancement make this an attractive career for ambitious people.

Testimonials

Shaun Davison 380x380

"Having been tutored by Kevin for my domestic core gas qualifications at Rodbaston College and accepting that I am classed as a mature student even taking into account my many years as a police officer I was extremely nervous going into my ACS examinations. Kevin was there for me every step of the way offering me support he definitely is one in a million and having equipped me with the necessary tools in the box I undertook the ACS exams and am now a fully Gas Safe Registered engineer."
