William Evans

Early career as a Mechanical Engineer, to then adapting and changing career paths to a gas Engineer, where I have worked over the last two years at Southern Gas Networks where I have picked up qualifications such as MET 4 (install exchange remove & commission diaphragm gas meters) also REGT1 (commissioning of medium pressure regulators for domestic) & ESP MLP + CESP1 (core emergency service provider) which is achieving an ACS qualification and covers things such as..

• Gas Safety (Installation & Use Regulations 1998.
• Tightness testing and purging.
• Gas industry unsafe situations procedure.
• Scope of operatives work checking and setting regulators.
• Operation and positioning of emergency isolation and warning labels.
• Emergency procedures.
• Pipe-work requirements.
• Ventilation.
• Combustion.
• Chimney standards.
• Re-lighting of domestic appliances.
• Carbon monoxide alarms

Which has given me gas safe registration.

I am also registered on the EUSR portal.

Having worked with SGN over the last 2 years I have experience of changing domestic gas meters and valuable customer service skills and qualities from dealing with customers on a day to day basis. Also picking up vital communication skills towards customers and fellow employees which I think is key.

I do realise I will need MOCOPA qualifications and training, but having spoke to your Careers Team, an upskill course is available and I was advised to apply for the potential to be processed as an upskill candidate.
