Apprentice Heating Install Engineer (Worcester)

Start your career as a Heating Install Engineer with a team that will support you every step of the way!

We are looking for Apprentice Heating Install Engineers to join our team based in Worcester.

Are you practical, hands-on, and ready to learn a skilled trade?

Do you want to earn a recognised qualification while working for one of the Midlands' leading property maintenance teams?

Join Platform Property Care (PPC) as an Apprentice Heating Install Engineer and take the first step toward a successful, long-term career.

PPC is part of Platform Housing Group, the largest social housing association in the Midlands. With over 50,000 homes and 120,000 customers, we're committed to delivering safe, high-quality homes and providing great service to our communities.

What you'll be doing

As an Apprentice Heating Install Engineer you will learn how to maintain customers' homes to a high and safe standard. Day-to-day, you will:

• Work alongside experienced Heating Engineers on installations, services and repairs
• Assist with heating systems maintenance and repairs in domestic properties
• Learn how to diagnose faults and complete repairs safely
• Produce work to high standards while providing excellent customer service
• Build confidence and practical skills with the support of an experienced mentor

No previous experience is needed — just enthusiasm, reliability, and a willingness to learn.

Your training

You will study the Level 3 Gas Engineering Operative Apprenticeship at Hereford & Ludlow College (Hereford) or a similar provider, attending college one day a week while gaining hands-on experience for the rest of the week.

Once you successfully complete your apprenticeship, you will be able to apply for permanent roles within PPC. We have a strong track record of offering permanent employment to our apprentices, and we'll continue to support your development as you progress.

• A commitment to delivering great customer service

A full driving licence is ideal — but not essential to start. Because the role is mobile, you will need to work towards achieving this.

You should also live in Worcester, as this is where the team is based.

What you'll get as a Platform Apprentice

• Earn while you learn
• Health and Dental Plan
• NUS Apprentice Card (discounts and perks)
• Fully supported training and development
