Description As part of our Emergency Response Team, you'll be the first on the scene at customers' homes, which makes you the face of our brand for people who are worried about potential gas escapes or carbon monoxide activated alarms. Key Responsibilities Sometimes you'll be dealing with the emergency services on behalf of our customers, making you part of a team that's responsible for protecting people's lives. They could be vulnerable, elderly, or simply looking for help, and it's that level of empathy, plus the pride you'll feel from caring for people and keeping them safe in their homes that could make you a Cadent person. It's a role where no two days are the same, so from installation, replacement, and maintenance of gas meters for our home and business customers, to high rise and gas safety regulation surveys, to fitting cooker safety valves, when we say it's a varied role, we mean it. Experience and Qualifications We're looking for excellent communication skills and the ability to keep calm under pressure. You must have either a CCN1 or CMA1 qualification to apply. A MET1 qualification would be beneficial but is not essential. As well as experience working within a gas environment, including good knowledge of gas appliances; testing, purging and the commissioning of pipework. An understanding of Standards, Legislation, Codes of Practice and Health and Safety is also important, and you'll need a full UK driving licence too. But ultimately, it's about pride, purpose, thinking on your feet, and taking ownership. That's what will make you a perfect fit in our team. Don't meet every single requirement listed? We would still love to hear from you! Understanding, learning, and celebrating what makes us different, as well as what we have in common, is good for us as individuals and enables us to work better together as one team. We provide our own learning and development programmes, providing you with access to our learning tools to help you develop the skills needed to soar at Cadent.
