• 6:00am – 3:00pm
• 8:00am – 5:00pm
• 11:00am – 7:00pm

Flexibility and reliability across all three shift patterns are essential requirements for this position.

Overview

We’re growing fast and offering a choice of career paths to suit different skillsets, ambitions and lifestyles. Whether you’re looking to join as an Elite Engineer, including Warrant Officer duties, or prefer a Non‑Elite Dual Fuel role focused purely on metering without warrant work, we have the right opportunity for you.

This isn’t just another dual fuel position – it’s a chance to be part of a company that’s redefining what it means to be a metering engineer, offering clear progression, industry‑leading training, and exceptional rewards. If you’re technically skilled, customer‑focused, and driven to deliver safe, high‑quality work, we’d love to hear from you.

The Role & What We Need from You

The Role: You’ll work predominantly in the commercial sector, ensuring the safe and efficient delivery of gas and electricity metering services. Depending on your role choice, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Elite Engineers: Undertake friendly debt resolution visits to support customers; alternate between attending Warrants as the on‑site engineer and acting as the Warrant Officer (always supported – never solo).
• Non‑Elite (Dual Fuel Only): Focus purely on technical metering work – no Warrant or debt visits.

All engineers will receive full technical support, ongoing mentoring, and opportunities to upskill in areas such as:

• Three‑Phase
• Medium Pressure
• Half‑Hourly / CT Metering
• Gas U16–U40

Future career progression is available to:

• Technical Lead
• Quality Assessor
• Regional Field Manager

What We Need from You:

• Demonstrate a ‘can‑do’ attitude and a willingness to take on a variety of field metering tasks.
• Take responsibility for the safe installation, exchange, commissioning, removal, and maintenance of metering systems, associated equipment, and communication systems.
• Deliver friendly, professional customer interactions, ensuring every visit reflects our values.
• Elite Engineers will also undertake Warrant Officer and friendly debt resolution visits (supported by our dedicated back‑office team).
• Non‑Elite Engineers will focus exclusively on core dual fuel metering duties – no warrant or debt‑related work.
• Maintain compliance with all health and safety regulations, metering standards, and company procedures.
• Take accountability for stock, tools, and company vehicle care.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues and management to deliver team and business goals.
• Be open to ongoing development through technical training and mentoring opportunities.
