About the role
Gas Engineer – Large‑Scale Plant | Secure, Long‑Term Contract
Location:
HMP Northumberland
Salary: Up to £43,000 + on‑call allowance + overtime
Contract: Permanent, Full Time
We’re looking for an experienced Commercial Gas / Heating Engineer to join our on‑site engineering team at HMP Northumberland, working on a large, critical estate with substantial commercial plant and infrastructure.
This is a true commercial environment — not domestic, not customer‑facing — offering stable long‑term employment, consistent workload, and exposure to sizeable gas and heating systems.
The Role
You’ll be responsible for the maintenance and safety of commercial gas and heating plant across a large, well‑established site, including plant rooms and critical systems.
Typical duties include:
- Servicing, maintenance and fault‑finding on commercial gas/heating systems
- 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 For
Essential
- Gas Safe registered
- Commercial ACS: COCN1, CDGA1, ICPN1 (or equivalent)
- Proven experience working on commercial gas systems
Desirable
- Large‑site or FM environment experience
What You’ll Get
- Salary up to £43,000
- On‑call allowance and overtime opportunities
- Permanent, long‑term contract
- Predictable workload and structured hours
- 33 days holiday including bank holidays
- Strong pension scheme
- Training, upskilling and long‑term stability
About the Site
Working at a secure site like HMP Northumberland offers:
- A stable, organised working environment
- No public or customer interaction
- Planned access to plant and equipment
- Clear procedures and strong on‑site support
While security protocols apply, engineers work as part of an established on‑site team with structured access and clear processes.
