The Role

Wemco is looking for an experienced and motivated Commercial Gas Engineer to join our growing engineering team.

  • Carry out repairs, adjustments and remedial works to commercial heating and hot water systems.
  • Undertake commercial gas safety checks and testing.
  • Fault find on boilers, burners, controls, pumps and associated plant.
  • Carry out installation and commissioning works where required.
  • Identify additional repair and improvement opportunities and provide accurate information for quotation.
  • Complete service sheets, job reports, photographs and other required documentation accurately.
  • Maintain a high standard of workmanship and customer service.
  • Ensure all work is completed in accordance with current legislation, industry standards, company procedures and RAMS.
  • Liaise professionally with customers, clients, colleagues and other contractors.
  • Maintain company vehicles, tools and equipment to a high standard.
  • Participate in the company's out-of-hours emergency call-out rota.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
