Hot opportunities in the Gas industry !
Believe it or not, there really are some recession proof industries out there!
Gas installation and maintenance is one of them, by the look of some of the roles required to be filled at British Gas, to name just one large UK utilities employer.
Currently, at British Gas, positions exist for qualified and skilled individuals of all ages in domestic gas, plumbing and electrical roles. These include :
- Technical engineers to carry out the annual servicing of British Gas customers’ central heating systems and appliances, as well as system maintenance and upgrades,
- Servicing fitters to service and maintain customers’ central heating systems and other domestic appliances.
- Lead plumbing engineers to carry out the installation, maintenance and repair of all plumbing related equipment and associated pipe work.
- White goods electrical field engineers to undertake a range of duties, including repairs to white goods/kitchen appliances, domestic electrical installation
maintenance and annual inspections on customers’ electrical appliances and installations.
The construction industry plays a huge part in the economy and life of every part of the UK. It is estimated to be worth around £110 billion - that is 10 per cent of all Gross Domestic Product - comprising over 25,000 businesses employing 1.4 million individuals.
Whilst many manufacturers, high street retailers and other commercial sectors like the car industry seem to be desperately struggling to cope with the current downturn, the construction trade skills industry seems to soldier on regardless, apparently endowed with credit-crunch resistant ‘superpowers’ to fight on through the recession.
It surely makes sense that there may never be a better time to get into the industry by retraining as a fully qualified domestic Gas installer. By signing up for on one of the many AbleSkills training courses available with different options on lengths of training time, you could be beginning a new and secure future career within just a matter of months!
