The role

We are looking for Gas Safe installers who do neat, well-commissioned boiler installations and want a run of them without the selling. Every job comes to you surveyed, quoted at a fixed price and confirmed with the customer. The boiler, flue, filter and kit are ordered on our accounts, delivered next day and checked in by the office before you arrive. You are not writing quotes, chasing deposits, ringing merchants or calling customers back - you are fitting boilers and getting paid for it.

Most jobs are one-day like-for-like swaps of Vaillant, Worcester Bosch and Glow-worm boilers, with conversions to combi and the occasional unvented cylinder for engineers who hold G3. You will be working under the David Osborne Heating name, Gas Safe registration 2836, alongside a small team that has been installing, servicing and repairing boilers in East Kent for over 25 years.

What we take off your plate

The admin you stop doing the day you start with us:

Finding the work. The website, the Google advertising, the reviews and the reputation that make the phone ring are ours. You never spend a penny or an evening on marketing.
Surveying and quoting. Installs arrive surveyed, priced and accepted by the customer. No quotes at the kitchen table, no waiting a week to hear back, no haggling.
Booking and confirming. The office answers the phone, books the job and confirms it with the customer. It appears in your schedule. If they need to move it, the office sorts it.
Calling customers back. “What time will he be here?”, “can I add the radiator?”, “it’s making a noise again” - those calls go to the office, not to you while you are up a loft.
Chasing the money. The customer pays us. You send one invoice to one company, on terms agreed in writing. No chasing homeowners for payment, ever.
Ordering and tracking parts. Boilers, flues, filters and repair parts go on our trade accounts for next-day delivery, and the office checks they have landed before your job. Nothing fronted on your card, no ringing round merchants.
Warranties and paperwork. We register the manufacturer warranty and the Gas Safe notification. Certificates are signed on the app on site and filed for you. Nothing to bring back, nothing to type up.
The awkward bits. Cancellations, customers who change their mind, the odd complaint - the office handles it. You do the job properly and move on to the next one.

What's left for you: turn up, do the job properly, sign it off on the app, go home. Then invoice us for what you did.

What you'll be doing

Install combi, system and regular boilers to our fixed-price quotes, including conversions from system or regular to combi
Fit flues (horizontal and vertical), filters, controls and the pipework changes each job needs
Commission every boiler correctly, complete the Benchmark and our installation record with photos on the certificates app
Carry out powerflushes and system cleans where quoted
Leave the customer with a working system they understand, and the property as you found it
Flag anything unsafe or outside the quote to the office before going ahead
Attend Gas Safe Register inspection visits on your work when they arise

What we need from you

Current Gas Safe registration with ACS: CCN1 and CENWAT as a minimum
At least five years’ experience installing domestic gas boilers, including system-to-combi conversions
Neat pipework and a proper commissioning routine, every time
Up-to-date knowledge of current regulations and manufacturer requirements
Comfortable using a phone app for job sheets, photos and certificates
Full UK driving licence
Able to work on your own initiative and as part of a small team

Nice to have

Unvented hot water (G3)
Vaillant Advance or Worcester Accredited Installer status
Powerflushing experience
Heat pump installation experience or the interest to train

What you'll bring

Your own van, clean and unbranded, and your own tools including a calibrated flue gas analyser
Public liability insurance (we will ask to see the schedule)
A basic DBS check, no more than 12 months old (you can apply online through gov.uk in a few minutes)
UTR number and CIS registration
A smartphone for the certificates app

Don't have a DBS certificate? Apply for a basic DBS check on gov.uk - it takes a few minutes online and usually arrives within two weeks. It only needs to be in place before your first job, not before you apply.

How it works

Jobs are booked and confirmed by our office and appear in your schedule - you never chase a customer or answer a cold enquiry
You invoice one company, us, for the work you complete. Rates are agreed at interview and set out in writing before you start. The customer’s money is our problem, not yours
Materials go on our trade accounts with next-day delivery and the office checks they have arrived. Nothing on your card, no ringing round merchants
Certificates and job records are done on our app on site and go straight to the customer’s file - no paperwork to bring back, no evening admin
We register the warranty, deal with the customer’s calls and questions, and handle any follow-up, so you can get on with the next job
