This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified engineer to work within a secure, well-structured environment, supporting critical heating infrastructure across multiple sites.
The Role

- A recognised mechanical or engineering qualification
- Gas Safe registration
- Proven experience working on commercial heating systems
- LPG experience (desirable but not essential)
- Working knowledge of HVAC systems, BMS, and electrical isolation
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a team
- Confidence using digital systems for job management and reporting
Due to the nature of the site, candidates must be eligible for DBS checks and Security Clearance (SC).
What’s on Offer
- Competitive salary of £42,000–£44,000 DOE
- Stable, long-term permanent role
- Structured working hours with clear on-call rota
- Modern, tablet-based job management
- Opportunity to work on a high-profile, secure site
