As our Support Engineer, you'll play a key role in supporting frontline repair activities across our gas network. This isn't just about responding to gas escapes – it's about helping deliver safe, efficient and reliable services for the millions of customers who depend on us every day.

Why you'll love this role:
- Frontline Network Support – Attend gas escapes and support repair activities that help keep customers and communities safe.
- Varied Operational Work – Assist with groundwork, excavations, reinstatements and a range of network maintenance activities.
- Safety First – Promote safe working practices, using appropriate signing, lighting, guarding and cable avoidance techniques.
