As the lead supplier in the UK LPG market, things rarely stand still for us. From humble beginnings, and as part of SHV Energy, Calor has continued to develop and diversify, ensuring that our service offering is expansive, progressive and relevant to our customers. It is our people that enable us to do that, which is why they are the heart of our business.

Calor are looking for a flexible and motivated Gas Service Engineer to join our field-based Assets team, providing engineering services and emergency response to Calor customers in the area.

• Installing and maintaining Calor’s bulk tanks and assets (full training given) at customer sites
• Participation in travel (van and fuel provided)  in order to meet customer service standards for our largely rural customer base

This role requires participation in a Standby Rota to respond to gas emergencies out of normal working hours and can involve extensive travel in order to meet customer service standards for our largely rural customer base.  Therefore, you will need to have a flexible, positive and adaptable approach.

• Any relevant gas engineering experience would be considered useful and an understanding of LPG and the installation and maintenance of bulk LPG tanks and cylinders would be a distinct advantage
• Whilst previous experience of working with LPG tanks would be ideal, full training and support will be given to the right individual
• A full UK driving license is also essential
• Have an in-depth knowledge of relevant legislation and industry standards, including Health and Safety awareness
