Qualified Gas Engineers needed

[Puddle]

Thank you Helen for bringing BG recruitment requirements to the attention of our members and forum visitors,am sure many may well be interested in the opportunities available

I see some have gone off topic and raised other alleged issues and that Helen has responded to the best of her ability and we thank her for that

However please keep thread on topic as it is unfair to others interested in the openings available and disrespectful to Helen who is just keeping all informed of opportunities available

If any members wish to continue off topic discussion,please open a separate thread ,please note any more off topic posts will be removed

Any problems please pm

Hi,

Thanks to the people who have expressed interest through this thread. BG recruit in lots of different ways, but our requirements change all the time in terms of who we need and where our vacancies are, so I am just trying something different and hopefully reaching a new audience through this forum. I appreciate that not everyone's view of any big company is positive, but as I have said previously, I cannot comment on these opinions as I don't know the background. If these issues have been brought to our attention by the customers involved, I would hope they have been dealt with on an individual basis. We do have thousands of fantastic staff who put in a lot of work to give customers a great service, and I just want to find more of those type of people!

Hi Helen

Do you work for BG. Is it just BG you recruit for.
I am looking for a job but having worked for BG for many years as an engineer i wouldnt be looking at returning.
Regards

Hi, Yes I'm employed by British Gas as part of their recruitment team, based in one of the Energy Academies. Please let me know if you change your mind and would consider working for us again, but if not, good luck in your search for work.

[Helen BG]

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the continuing interest. It's nice to chat to you all! I hope I've responded to everyone who had a recruitment query, but please keep the private messages coming if you are looking for work. Sorry if I have missed anyone.
Some new locations we have roles available are:
Ipswich
Norwich
Peterborough.
We are keen to hear from anyone who has full domestic ACS and NVQ Level 2 or 3 Domestic Gas Maintenance, as well as some good experience.
Thanks, Helen

Hey Mike!

I would hope the devil's price would be a little higher than ours...!
The advertised salary for Qualified Service and Repair technical engineers is £29908.32 plus performance related bonuses, pension, sharesave schemes and lots of other benefits. The majority of engineers will be able to greatly increase their take home pay through performance and callout bonuses and overtime, much as you would if you were working for yourself. The real plus for most people is the job security and guaranteed work, as well as the long term benefits from the shares etc and opportunities for career progression.
State of the art vans and equipment supplied!

Hi Helen

Thank you for your response. So with pension, bonuses, overtime and a supplied Van this could easily equate to around 45 to 60 grand a year potentialy, Nice package.
Out of Interest Is BG getting in to the renewables market as well for off grid customers. I have done a quick search on the MCS data base and I see that BG are trading as Cool Planet

Hi,

Yes the renewable energy market will be a huge focus for BG over the coming years. Before I joined the organisation I had no idea how much research and investment is being put into making renewable / sustainable sources a viable option for customers. Our Smart Energy Experts are helping to roll these out to homes across the UK - this is yet another career path for people looking to join the business who may want to do something different from the traditional gas and energy routes.

 

[unguided1]

So is the change in direction a direct result to rumours going round the industry that all new builds after 2016 will not be allowed to have gas supplies, not sure if you can help with a clarification on that

 

[Helen BG]

According to our service managers that is just a rumour. Looking to the future, we need to diversify the business to remain competitive across the whole energy spectrum, as well as ensuring we're doing our best to be environmentally conscious.

 

[unguided1]

Just out of interest whos heatpumps have your smart energy managers chosen for cool planet to install the reason I ask is there is a lot of stuff out there that is not fit for purpose and I include some MCS accredited products
