Gas goes in, gas comes out. Sounds simple, right? But you know it isn't.

As a skilled Instrument technician, you will cover a patch to take on the installation, inspection, commissioning, operation, repair and maintenance of various safety, control and measurement, and fire and gas systems, as well as other operational duties onsite.

Working as part of our Operations Team, you will also act as site controller to issue permission documents, formulate isolations and support with the construction and commissioning of new assets on the system. You will oversee and inspect work carried out by others, including support of capital project.

This role will help protect and maintain the high-pressure systems in our compressor stations and above ground installations. These stations are the engines that power long-distance gas pipelines across the National Transmission System.

You must have previously completed an apprenticeship (or other recognised training scheme) and hold a BTEC National Certificate (or equivalent City & Guilds NVQ/SVQ Level 3) in an Instrumentation, Electronics or Control Systems discipline.

You’ll have operated, controlled and undertaken work within Safe Systems of Work. Ideally you will have worked in heavy industry such as power generation or utilities and have experience in undertaking maintenance, fault diagnosis and rectification work on rotating machinery such as industrial gas turbines or large machinery trains.

We work in hazardous areas, so knowledge of health and safety is key. It would be desirable for you to have knowledge of DSEAR and worked on ATEX Equipment having an in date CompEx certificate, if not, it is something we could consider putting you through.

You will be covering different sites across your local patch, so travel to various site locations is expected, as well as travel to training courses for competencies.

We are National Gas, including National Gas Transmission and National Gas Metering.

In February 2023 we became a standalone business, to maintain and own the Gas Infrastructure in the UK. But more than that, to develop and grow this infrastructure to set us up for a cleaner energy future. A future of Hydrogen.

This means we are currently in a period of both opportunity and uncertainty. While nobody knows exactly what things will look like in a years’ time, those who join the business now will have a unique opportunity to shape the future of Gas Transmission in the UK.

The closing date is 17th September, although in some cases I’ll close the ad early, so don’t delay.

I’ll respond to every single application.
