Gas Inspector (Leeds and surrounding area)

About Gas Safe Register

Gas Safe Register is the official gas registration body for the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey. By law, gas businesses and engineers must be registered to carry out gas work legally. The register exists to help protect the public from unsafe gas work by maintaining the official list of competent gas businesses and engineers, supporting inspections, investigating unsafe work and raising gas safety awareness.

Capita delivers the Gas Safe Register service under a concession arrangement with the Health and Safety Executive and related authorities. Together, the service plays an important role in maintaining gas safety standards and helping consumers have confidence that gas work is carried out safely and legally.

• Complete inspection reports within the required Service Level Agreement and to the expected standard.
• Take appropriate action when unsafe or illegal gas work is identified.
• Communicate clearly and professionally with registered businesses and gas consumers.
• Maintain technical knowledge and industry awareness through ongoing CPD.

What to Expect in the Role

This is a field-based role that requires travel, strong personal organisation and the ability to manage your own workload.
