  • Support technical investigations following gas-related incidents or serious service failures.
  • Preserve evidence and produce accurate reports where further investigation may be required.
  • Ensure work complies with Gas Safe requirements, relevant legislation and company procedures.
  • Maintain an appropriate working knowledge of HSE requirements, RIDDOR and incident-escalation procedures.
  • Complete detailed and auditable technical reports, including test results, readings, photographs, findings and recommended remedial action.
  • Communicate technical findings clearly to engineers, management, residents and clients.
