Overview

We’re looking for talented and ambitious engineers to join our rapidly growing business. This is a unique opportunity for passionate, motivated individuals to help us expand our field gas and electric metering capability across the UK. Whether you’re looking to join as a Transient Elite Engineer, including Warrant Officer duties, or prefer a Transient Non‑Elite Dual Fuel role focused purely on metering without warrant work, we have the right opportunity for you.

Our Transient Engineers work flexibly across different regions, with levels of transient work open to discussion – whether you prefer being away 1, 2 or 3 weeks out of 4, we’ll work with you to find the right balance.

Typical Working Pattern

This is a transient role, requiring you to work away from home at least one week out of every four. The exact frequency will be discussed at the interview stage.

During transient weeks, you will typically travel to your allocated location on Sunday, work Monday to Thursday (8 am–7 pm), and return home on Friday.

All travel time will be paid at overtime rates (x1.5 and x1 respectively). In addition, you will receive:

• £25 per night sustenance allowance.
• £40 per night transient payment for each night spent working away from home.

The Role & What We Need from Yü

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:

Transient 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).

Transient Non‑Elite (Dual Fuel Only)

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

• 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.
• 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.
• Work primarily in the commercial sector with opportunities for upskilling in:

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

• Comfortable conducting both standard and warrant‑related visits with empathy and professionalism.
• Team player mindset with focus on collaboration, compliance, and continuous learning.
• Accountability for stock, vehicle, and equipment.
