About Gas Safe Register

Gas Safe Register is the official gas registration body for the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey. By law, gas businesses and engineers must be registered to carry out gas work legally. The register exists to help protect the public from unsafe gas work by maintaining the official list of competent gas businesses and engineers, supporting inspections, investigating unsafe work and raising gas safety awareness.

Capita delivers the Gas Safe Register service under a concession arrangement with the Health and Safety Executive and related authorities. Together, the service plays an important role in maintaining gas safety standards and helping consumers have confidence that gas work is carried out safely and legally.

Why Join Us?

• Take appropriate action when unsafe or illegal gas work is identified.
• Communicate clearly and professionally with registered businesses and gas consumers.
• Maintain technical knowledge and industry awareness through ongoing CPD.

• Experience working on a variety of gas appliances and/or quality controlling gas work.
• Understanding of Health & Safety, Building Regulations, related codes and normative documents.
• Ability to risk assess environments and make appropriate safety decisions.
• Ability to use tools and undertake appropriate tests and checks during inspections.
• Appreciation of issues affecting gas, plumbing, electrical and H&V installation businesses.

Desirable Experience

• Additional ACS certificates in LPG, Non-Domestic & Catering, LAU1 and DAH1.
• Relevant auditor qualification such as D32/A1 or equivalent.

What's in It for You?

• 23 days' holiday, rising to 27 days, with the opportunity to buy extra leave.
• A paid volunteering day to support a charity partner or cause of your choice.
• Company-matched pension and life assurance.
• Cycle2Work scheme.
• 15 weeks' fully paid maternity, adoption and shared parental leave.
• Two weeks' paternity pay.
• Voluntary lifestyle benefits covering retail, socialising, health and wellbeing, travel and technology.

What to Expect in the Role

This is a field-based role that requires travel, strong personal organisation and the ability to manage your own workload. You will need to complete reports accurately and within agreed service levels. At times, you may need to address unsafe, illegal or non-compliant work, so confidence, professionalism and resilience are essential.
