  • 6:00am - 3:00pm

Overview: 
We're growing fast - and we're offering a choice of career paths to suit different skillsets, ambitions and lifestyles. 
 
Whether you're looking to join as an Elite Engineer, including Warrant Officer duties, or prefer a Non-Elite Dual Fuel role focused purely on metering without warrant work, we have the right opportunity for you. 
 
This isn't just another dual fuel position - it's a chance to be part of a company that's redefining what it means to be a metering engineer, offering clear progression, industry-leading training, and exceptional rewards. 
 
If you're technically skilled, customer-focused, and driven to deliver safe, high-quality work, we'd love to hear from you. 
The Role: 
You'll work predominantly in the commercial sector, ensuring the safe and efficient delivery of gas and electricity metering services. 

Depending on your role choice, you'll have the opportunity to: 

Elite Engineers: 
  • Undertake friendly debt resolution visits to support customers. 
  • Alternate between attending Warrants as the on-site engineer and acting as the Warrant Officer (always supported - never solo). 
Non-Elite (Dual Fuel Only): 
  • Focus purely on technical metering work - no Warrant or debt visits. 
All engineers will receive full technical support, ongoing mentoring, and opportunities to upskill in areas such as: 
  • Three-Phase 
  • Medium Pressure 
  • Half-Hourly / CT Metering 
  • Gas U16-U40 
Future career progression is available to: 
  • Technical Lead 
  • Quality Assessor 
  • Regional Field Manager 
What We Need from Yu 
  • Demonstrate a 'can-do' attitude and a willingness to take on a variety of field metering tasks. 
  • Take responsibility for the safe installation, exchange, commissioning, removal, and maintenance of metering systems, associated equipment, and communication systems. 
  • Deliver friendly, professional customer interactions, ensuring every visit reflects our values. 
  • Elite Engineers will also undertake Warrant Officer and friendly debt resolution visits (supported by our dedicated back-office team). 
  • Non-Elite Engineers will focus exclusively on core dual fuel metering duties - no warrant or debt-related work. 
  • Maintain compliance with all health and safety regulations, metering standards, and company procedures. 
  • Take accountability for stock, tools, and company vehicle care. 
  • Work collaboratively with colleagues and management to deliver team and business goals. 
  • Be open to ongoing development through technical training and mentoring opportunities.
