Start your career in gas with an IGQ New Entrants Course

Has coronavirus left you considering a change of career?

What does a gas engineer do?

If you are considering whether to start your career in gas, it is important to know exactly what you will be expected to do on a day-to-day basis. Obviously, like most industries, you may want to specialise in a certain aspect of gas, such as LPG. However, as a rule, a Gas Safe registered engineer will:

• Install, repair and maintain gas appliances and equipment
• Replace faulty gas appliances and systems
• Carry out annual checks and tests to ensure appliances are in full working order
• Cut, bend and join gas pipes

Legally, you must have the necessary qualifications, which as a rule, is an ACS gas qualification. You must also be Gas Safe registered. Replacing CORGI in 2009, the Gas Safe register exists to protect the public from unsafe gas work, improve standards and raise awareness of the potential dangers.
