Domestic Gas Engineer - Service, Breakdown & Installation

Up to £45,000 Basic Salary + Overtime, On-Call Payments & Bonus Opportunities

Location: Wokingham, Reading & surrounding areas, Berkshire

Company: SecureHeat

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

Hours: 40 hours per week, plus paid on-call rota

Experienced Gas Engineer? Join the SecureHeat Team.

SecureHeat is looking for an experienced, reliable and technically confident Domestic Gas Heating Engineer to join our established plumbing and heating business in Berkshire.

We’re looking for a genuinely capable, all-round engineer who enjoys diagnosing problems, finding solutions and delivering quality workmanship.

This isn’t a servicing-only or installation-only position. You’ll be carrying out a varied mix of boiler breakdowns, servicing, fault-finding, heating repairs and installations.

If you’re confident working independently, take pride in doing things properly and enjoy providing excellent customer service, we’d like to hear from you.

The Role

You’ll work across domestic properties in Wokingham, Reading and the surrounding areas, carrying out:

• Boiler breakdowns and fault-finding: Diagnosing and repairing faults across a range of domestic gas boilers and heating systems.
• Servicing and maintenance: Carrying out boiler servicing, routine maintenance and safety checks.
• Boiler installations: Installing and replacing domestic gas boilers and associated heating equipment.
• Heating system repairs: Diagnosing and replacing pumps, valves, radiators, controls and other components.
• Gas safety inspections: Completing relevant inspections, certification and documentation.
• Customer service: Communicating professionally with customers and providing clear, honest advice.
• Emergency call-outs: Participating in a paid on-call rota.

You’ll be trusted to work independently, manage your jobs professionally and maintain the high standards our customers expect.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with at least 3 years’ relevant experience who has strong technical knowledge and can confidently diagnose and resolve heating problems.

Essential Requirements

• Minimum 3 years’ relevant domestic gas and heating engineering experience.
• Valid CCN1 domestic gas qualification.
• Valid G3 unvented hot water qualification.
• Relevant domestic gas appliance qualifications.
• Current Gas Safe registration or eligibility to be registered through SecureHeat.
• Proven experience in boiler servicing, breakdowns, fault-finding, repairs and installations.
• Strong diagnostic skills and good knowledge of domestic central heating systems.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of jobs.
• Full UK driving licence.
• Excellent communication and customer service skills.
• Professional, reliable and conscientious approach.
• Willingness to participate in a paid on-call rota.

Desirable, But Not Essential

• Commercial gas qualifications or experience.
• Experience across a range of boiler manufacturers.
• Additional plumbing skills.
• Knowledge of heating controls, smart thermostats and system upgrades.

We’re particularly interested in engineers with strong breakdown and diagnostic experience — not just servicing or installation experience.

Salary & Benefits

At SecureHeat, we recognise the value of experienced engineers and offer a package that reflects your skills and qualifications.

• Up to £45,000 basic annual salary, depending on experience and qualifications.
• Paid overtime opportunities to increase your earnings.
• Paid on-call duties.
• Bonus opportunities.
• Company van and fuel provided.
• Full-time, permanent employment.
• 40-hour working week, plus on-call rota.
• Company pension.
• Company events.
• Varied workload covering servicing, breakdowns and installations.
• Established local customer base.
• Friendly, supportive working environment.

Why Join SecureHeat?

We’re an established local plumbing and heating business that believes in quality workmanship, honest advice and looking after our customers.

We value engineers who can think for themselves, solve problems and take pride in their work.

We want people who care about getting the job done properly, treat customers and their homes with respect and enjoy being part of a professional team.

You’ll have a varied working day, the opportunity to use your technical skills and the satisfaction of working for a company that values quality and reliability.

We’re looking for someone who wants to become a valued member of our team and grow with the business.
