Hi everyone,

Some new locations we have roles available are:

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

[Helen BG]

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
