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.

• Three‑Phase
• Medium Pressure
• Half‑Hourly / CT Metering

• Technical Lead
• Quality Assessor
• Regional Field Manager

• 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.
