Qualified Gas Engineers needed

[Nordenheating]

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

Isnt it actually that 'new build' have to be carbon neutral by 2016 and fully electric by 2020.

Fully electric? Where did you see that?

New build to be all electric, no gas. Government pledge for building regs for 2020. Confirmed at a seminar this month run by Worcester Bosch. Remember new build only so still lots of existing gas boilers there for us guys.

Retrofitting gas into all the new builds. Back to the 70's :lol:

I havent read the whole thread just the initial page.

FWIW here are my views...

I left school and trained with the then mighty British Gas corporation before it was flogged off.

It was the best training available and a great company to be part of.

By the time i left, i had had enough.

I was flogged to death by their half witted and poorly contrived bonus schemes.

There was insufficient time to fault find and do repairs first time on appliance/combi faults

Servicing had been reduced to waggling a flue sampler in the flue outlet

There was no recognition of technical ability and people just got jobs/were promoted simply because they were the bosses favourite or had been there longer.

Whilst i flogged my tripe out fitting traditional heating systems,others were allowed to skive the day away and get paid more than me.

Ask yourself this Helen,why is it you need to recruit? Answer..because there is such a high turnover of engineers that you need to keep replacing them. What you need to do is tell your managers that they need to recruit the best,give them room to breathe and practice their skills to provide excellent customer service and show them some respect instead of just viewing them as untrustworthy two legged tool bags.

By the way, oyu used the term Engineer. Do you mean that in its broadest sense or are you seeking those with the necessary qualifications and experience as to be registered with the Engineering Council or via an industry body such as IGEM?

Ditto..........:yesnod:

please tamz could u clarify as i dont get it

 

[tamz]

If, as has been said, all new builds are to be electric only by 2020, unless the technology takes a huge leap or they make electric cheaper than gas there will be a big demand to fit gas to these houses. Houses in the 70's and early 80's were built with no gas heating. Within months of people moving in they were having gas installed.
I can't ever see the government banning having a gas supply so people will have it installed after they move in.

Why would you leave Carillion to join BG ?

 

[Toned.f]

Not recruiting at the moment and I have it on good authority that this will only be reviewed after the winter. Just let all their contractors go so don't hold your breath.

 

[REDSAW]

you will have to private message helen to find out, dont post requests here

[Helen BG]

Hi,

We are not recruiting for permanent Gas Engineers at the moment, however we do have some opportunities for Contractors. If you go to www.britishgasjobs.co.uk and search for roles using your postcode, you will be able to apply for your local area, then our recruitment team will contact you when there is work available. Most of our permanent recruitment this year will be for our Electrical Services division, and for Dyno-Rod, so we are taking on qualified Plumbers with NVQ Level 2 in some areas. Again you can check the website to see whether we have local roles, and to set up a Job Alert. I hope that helps.

[julesverne]

WTF whislt i have enjoyed reading this thread how many times has red saw and others re iterated message helen by pm jesus it's not rocket science.

On a personal note i love Bg there quotes for boilers are ace it gets me so much work.
and why wouldnt anyone at that kind of money wouldnt want to work for bg it's a good crack not for everyone i agree but then being self employed isnt a doddle and the kerching pockets of cash that everyone makes it out to be,
personally myself i like my relaxed attitude to starting times unless its a big job but thats me.

 

[hammers4spanner]

i started filling out the application and got bored !!

 

[Dannypipe]

Relaxed attitude to starting times.....LOL. Not a morning person either by any chance??

I struggle so much to get to work for 8. Problem is I have blokes working for me and have to at least try. Doesn't look good rocking in at 9am when everyone else has started!

I'd much rather work 9.30 - 6.30.

 

[PlumbBobBob]
