HEATING & GAS ENGINEER – £38,000 | Full-Time | 39 Hours | Rutland
No call centres. No corporate chaos. Just real engineering, on a historic campus, with job security, purpose, and progression.
About the Role
Set in the heart of Rutland, this institution isn’t just any workplace — it’s a nationally respected independent school with a vast estate that blends centuries of history with modern facilities. The Estates Team is the backbone of this community, keeping the grounds, systems and infrastructure operating to the highest standards.

This is hands-on, boots-on-the-ground engineering. As a Heating & Gas Engineer, you’ll be the go-to expert for heating and hot water systems across a large and varied estate. From historic school buildings to state-of-the-art sports facilities, you’ll diagnose, maintain, repair and upgrade systems that keep everything running smoothly.
You’ll be using a tablet to manage tasks through a smart CAFM system — no paperwork, no confusion — and working alongside a wider Estates team that knows the value of skilled trades.
