Gas Responsible Person

Boden Group

A leading company in the Facilities Management sector is seeking a permanent Gas Responsible Person to oversee a major public sector and defense estate in Cambridgeshire.

Operating as the primary technical authority for gas safety across the region, you will ensure the flawless management, operation, and compliance of domestic and commercial gas networks. This is a hybrid, home-based role requiring regular site visits in Cambridgeshire, making it ideal for a senior engineer, technical manager, or compliance inspector looking to step away from tools and focus on safety governance, risk management, and stakeholder assurance.

  • Lead Gas Infrastructure Governance: Act as the appointed point of contact for all gas-related technical matters, ensuring infrastructure compliance in line with Gas Safety Management Plans (GSMP) and statutory requirements.
  • Manage Safe Systems of Work: Oversee the practical implementation of gas safety procedures, controlling on-site activities through the production, review, and issuance of permits to work, risk assessments, and method statements (RAMS).
  • Assess & Mentor Competency: Evaluate and verify the technical competence of Gas Skilled Persons, supporting their training and ensuring all engineers operating on the estate fully understand their safety responsibilities.
  • Provide Strategic Project Input: Deliver specialist technical guidance, risk assessments, and safety assurance for gas-related lifecycle projects, asset maintenance, and helpdesk queries.
  • Collaborate with Stakeholders: Work closely with the Gas Safety Manager, operational teams, client representatives, and supply chain partners to continuously improve safety performance and resolve corrective actions promptly.
You To be successful in the role of Gas Responsible Person, you’ll bring:
  • Extensive Gas Expertise: A deep technical understanding of gas safety management, distribution networks, and gas utilisation systems across both commercial and domestic environments.
  • Compliance & Systems Knowledge: Practical experience managing gas compliance, LPG installations, and safe systems of work. Familiarity with Safe Control of Operations (SCO), SHEA Gas, escape/locate/repair activities, and CDM regulations is highly beneficial.
  • Geographical & Logistics Requirement: Must hold a full UK driving license, be comfortable with regional travel, and be based no more than a 1-hour drive from the Huntingdon, Royston, or Saffron Walden regions (encompassing major regional defense infrastructure).
  • Communication & Influence: Exceptional interpersonal skills with the confidence to advise, influence, and collaborate with engineers, corporate managers, suppliers, and client stakeholders.
  • Security Clearance: The ability to achieve and maintain National Security Vetting (SC Clearance) is a mandatory condition of employment. Previous experience within a defense (MoD) or highly regulated public sector environment is advantageous.
What's in it for you? This leading FM provider is renowned for its commitment to engineering excellence and robust safety cultures, providing a highly autonomous working environment backed by extensive corporate benefits.
This permanent position offers:
  • A basic salary of £46,000 per year.
