Summary

Gas engineering involves the safe installation, commission, decommission and the ongoing service and repair of gas appliances in either a domestic or non-domestic setting. Appliances can include, but are not limited to, a range of work categories such as central heating boilers, unvented hot water storage, ducted air heaters, cookers, space heaters, meters, alternative fuel, boosters, testing and purging for industrial pipework. Roles in gas engineering will include explaining how installations and appliances work, providing energy efficiency advice and ensuring customer service excellence at all times. Gas engineering operates strictly within the requirements of health and safety legislation. Roles in gas engineering are physical in nature, and may involve lifting and moving of equipment, working at heights and working in confined spaces. All gas engineers must be registered on the Gas Safe® Register for each appliance in which they are competent to undertake work on.

Gas Engineering Operatives will benefit from high quality teaching and learning from industry experts, outstanding workshops and facilities and classroom and workshop study programmes. With a well-designed mix of classroom teaching and on-site assessment, topics within this prograamme include installation, commissioning, decommissioning, ongoing service and repair of gas installations, appliances and associated equipment. Electrical and mechanical principles, energy efficiency advice and guidance, regulatory compliance.
