Summary

Job Description

Build a long-term career - not just your next job. We're expanding our commercial gas team across the South West due to growth on long-term contracts and we are now recruiting in the Tiverton area. Before we get into the day-to-day, here's what really matters:

• Career progression - the real kind


• At Sherwoods, progression isn't rushed and it isn't based on empty promises.


• Several members of our senior leadership team started with us as apprentices. They learned the trade properly, proved themselves over time, and progressed because they were ready - not because of a job title being dangled in front of them.


• That's exactly how we still do things today.


• We won't promise you a supervisor role in three months.


• What we will offer is:




• A stable, growing business


• Clear opportunities as the company expands


• Support, training, and trust as you develop


• A long-term career path if you want one

If you're good at what you do, committed, and want to grow, we'll back you.

Why this role is different

• This is a role for commercial gas engineers who want to settle in and build something, not hop between short-term jobs.


• Planned work with realistic schedules


• Trusted to manage your day once on site


• No micromanagement, no unnecessary pressure


• A business that hires ahead of demand, not after people burn out

What you'll be doing

• Planned and reactive commercial gas maintenance across client sites


• Fault finding, repairs, and minor installation works


• Working to a realistic, pre-planned schedule


• Completing work safely and in line with Gas Safe and industry regulations

What you'll need

• Relevant commercial gas qualifications (e.g. COCN1 / CODNCO1 / TPCP1 / ICPN1 or equivalent)


• Experience in a commercial or maintenance environment


• Full UK driving licence


• Willingness to undertake an enhanced DBS check

What you'll get

• Salary up to £47,000, depending on experience


• Realistic earnings nearer £55,000 when door-to-door travel time is included


• Company van + fuel card


• Overtime available (never forced)


• 29 days holiday (incl. bank holidays)


• A paid day off for your birthday


• Simply Health cash plan


• Comprehensive discounts platform and benefits portal


• Enhanced maternity, adoption and paternity pay


• Employee Assistance Programme


• Holiday purchase scheme

Why Sherwoods?

We're a family-run business with over 50 years of doing things properly. We plan ahead, invest in our people, and promote from within wherever possible.

If you want a role where you can do good work, develop properly, and progress over time, you'll fit right in here.
