Gas Safety Manager
Location: Scotland
Join Mitie’s Technical Engineering Team
At Mitie, we’re not just maintaining standards—we’re shaping the future of engineering assurance and compliance across some of the UK’s most critical infrastructure.
We’re looking for a Gas Safety Manager (GSM) to join our central Technical Engineering Team, supporting the Ministry of Defence (MOD) estate. This is a highly influential role for a gas safety professional who thrives on auditing, technical assurance, compliance and continuous improvement.
You’ll act as a trusted Subject Matter Expert, helping ensure that gas systems, processes and people operate safely, compliantly and in line with MOD requirements, industry standards and best practice.
Whether you’re an existing Gas Safety Manager or an experienced gas compliance professional ready to take the next step, we’ll provide the support, mentoring and development needed to succeed.
What You’ll Be Doing
As Gas Safety Manager, you’ll provide technical leadership and assurance across Mitie’s MOD estate, with a particular focus on sites throughout Scotland.
Key responsibilities include:
- Acting as Mitie’s technical authority for gas safety procedures and compliance management.
- Conducting audits of gas installations, systems and personnel to ensure compliance with JSP 375, legislation and industry standards.
- Supporting Responsible Persons (Gas) and operational teams with technical guidance and specialist advice.
- Reviewing procedures, risk controls and documentation to ensure alignment with regulatory and MOD requirements.
- Investigating incidents, undertaking root cause analysis and driving improvements to prevent recurrence.
- Identifying trends through audit findings and performance data, recommending corrective and preventative actions.
- Producing clear audit reports, action plans and technical communications.
- Working collaboratively with DIO, regulatory bodies, health and safety teams and operational stakeholders.
- Supporting the continued development and implementation of Mitie’s gas safety governance framework.
- Monitoring changes in legislation, standards and industry best practice, ensuring these are effectively communicated across the business.
What Makes This Role Different?
This isn’t a traditional operational gas management role.
You’ll join a specialist team focused on engineering assurance, technical governance and compliance across a nationally significant MOD portfolio.
The role offers:
- The opportunity to become an authorised Gas Safety Manager within the MOD environment.
- Structured mentoring and development from experienced specialists.
- A varied mix of site-based auditing and home-based technical work.
- Exposure to complex engineering environments and critical infrastructure.
- Genuine influence on safety, compliance and engineering standards across a major national contract.
Travel typically involves site visits during one week followed by a week focused on report writing, technical reviews and remote support.
What We’re Looking For
We’re open to candidates from a range of backgrounds, provided you bring strong gas safety and compliance expertise.
Ideally you’ll have:
- Significant experience in gas safety, compliance, technical assurance or engineering governance within FM, defence, utilities or other highly regulated environments.
- Strong knowledge of gas legislation, industry standards and Safe Systems of Work (SSOW).
- Experience conducting audits, inspections and compliance reviews, with the ability to analyse findings and drive continuous improvement.
- Proven ability to provide technical guidance and support to operational teams and senior stakeholders.
- Experience undertaking incident investigations and root cause analysis, producing clear corrective and preventative actions.
- Previous appointment as an Authorised Person and/or experience managing gas networks in accordance with JSP 375 Volume 3 Chapter 8.
- NEBOSH General Certificate, Level 5 Diploma in Health & Safety, HNC/HND in Engineering or Built Environment, or equivalent technical qualification.
- BSI Lead Auditor, Lean Six Sigma, Holmes QHSE Investigation qualification, Incorporated Engineer (IEng) status, or working towards professional registration.
- Excellent communication, organisational and analytical skills, with the ability to explain complex technical information to a wide range of stakeholders.
- Full UK Driving Licence and willingness to travel regularly across Scotland and the UK, with all travel, accommodation and expenses covered.
