We are recruiting for 3 vacancies. One to cover the North of England which will also require working in Scotland (Ayrshire area). The second will be covering Stevenage and surrounding areas. And the third, covering Sailsbury and Winchester areas. There will also be travel to Nottingham and other GAUK sites for training.
The apprenticeship begins with the Level 3 Gas Engineering programme, delivered over 18 months using a structured block-release model.
Apprentices attend the training academy for one week per month, where learning is delivered through a combination of classroom-based teaching and practical sessions in realistic training bays.
Academy delivery focuses on developing strong technical knowledge, safe working practices, and practical competence, led by experienced engineers with current industry knowledge.
Training is carefully sequenced, so core topics are introduced in the academy before being reinforced through workplace activity. Between academy weeks, apprentices continue their development on site with an experienced mentor, applying recently learnt knowledge in real working environments.
Mentors support apprentices to observe, practise, and reflect on tasks linked directly to their learning, allowing skills and understanding to be embedded over time. Apprentices also complete structured workplace activities and portfolio evidence to demonstrate ongoing progress.
This blended approach ensures learning is consistently reinforced through practical application, supporting steady progression towards occupational competence.
Key learning areas:
Safe working practices on site, including risk assessment and electrical isolation
Pipework including jointing methods, fittings, and system components
Combustion theory and burner operation
Gas safety checks following appliance work
Appliance selection, suitability, and introduction to green technologies
Flueing and ventilation principles
Building, water, and electrical regulations
Emergency procedures and identification of unsafe situations
System design, appliance location, flue types, and smart control technologies
On-programme achievements:
Throughout the apprenticeship, apprentices complete a range of on-programme qualifications and technical achievements that are sequenced within the curriculum and aligned to workplace activity.
These include the Level 3 Diploma in Gas Engineering, Unvented Hot Water, Water Regulations, Safe Isolation, Wiring, Controls on S- and Y-Plan systems, and ultimately GasSafe registration.
These achievements are planned and sequenced, so knowledge and practical skills are developed progressively, reinforced through academy delivery and on-site mentoring. Building these foundations allows for apprentices to continue their development along the rest of their apprenticeship with a firm base.Training:
Gas Engineering Operative Level 3
