The brief

This contract requires a suitably qualified auditor to complete Gas Quality Audits, supplementing the in-house quality assurance team.

Post Service Audits will be undertaken as required, encompassing post inspections within 4 weeks of the annual inspection being completed, involving a full strip down of the serviceable appliances (SMBC service tenants appliances connected to a flue) and a visual inspection of flueless appliances owned by the tenant.

As well as annual inspections and as part of our on-going maintenance, Sandwell MBC carry out a significant number of boiler replacements per year.

Post inspection audits may also be required on new installations to make sure that they are compliant with the current gas regulations, building regulations inc. boiler plus and any specific SMBC’s specification requested.

3 C of the GSIUR98) for service & Completion certificate and benchmark for installations) with omissions and discrepancies highlighted, a record and report of each inspection will be required.

On occasions you may be asked to carry out a work in progress inspection on either the in-house team or contractor to assess that their procedures are adequate regarding gas safety and that there are no health and safety issues such as failing to use PPE etc.

Closing date: Monday 01 June 2026 at 15:00hrs
