What We Offer
- Flexible one-day-per-week commitment.

- Opportunity to shape and train the next generation of engineers.
- Friendly, supportive working environment.
- Variety of residential refurbishment projects.
- Long-term opportunity as our business grows.
- Potential for additional consultancy or supervisory work if desired.
Ideal Candidate
This role is perfect for someone who has spent many years in the gas industry and would like to continue working without the demands of full-time employment. We welcome applications from retired and semi-retired engineers who enjoy sharing their knowledge and helping young engineers build successful careers.
If you take pride in quality workmanship, enjoy mentoring others, and would like to remain active within the industry, we'd love to hear from you.
