At Spadeadam, you’ll work hands-on with large-scale experimental facilities, tackling some of the biggest safety challenges facing energy and industry.\nWhen the consequences are significant and confidence matters, industry often needs evidence. For 50 years, organisations from around the world have come to DNV’s Spadeadam R&D Centre to find those answers.\nSpadeadam is one of the world’s leading major hazards R&D facilities.\nOur engineers, scientists and technical specialists design, build and operate unique experimental facilities that help industry understand some of its most challenging safety and resilience questions. From hydrogen and alternative fuels to high-pressure gas releases, fire and explosion hazards, pipeline safety and critical infrastructure resilience, the work undertaken here helps shape engineering practice, inform major investment decisions and improve safety around the world.\nAs our business continues to grow, we are looking for curious Gas or Mechanical Technicians to join our Major Hazards Research and Development team.\nOur Opportunity:\nThis is not a conventional role. Many Technician roles focus on applying existing knowledge. At Spadeadam, you will help create it. Our teams develop one-of-a-kind experimental facilities and undertake world-leading research programmes designed to answer questions that cannot be resolved through standards, guidance or modelling alone. We generate the evidence that helps clients make decisions with confidence.\nOur work spans some of the most important challenges facing the energy, industrial and critical infrastructure sectors. Projects may include hydrogen and alternative fuel safety, high-pressure gas release studies, full-scale fire and explosion research, pipeline safety and integrity, critical infrastructure resilience, hazardous area investigations, battery energy storage systems, industrial process safety and emerging energy technologies. Our expertise is also increasingly applied to energy security, infrastructure protection and defence-related programmes.\nAs a Gas Technician you’ll play a key role in the ongoing maintenance and enhancement of essential site infrastructure and be involved throughout the project lifecycle, from concept development and design through to construction, commissioning, testing and operation. One week you may be helping to develop a new hydrogen research facility; the next, you could be designing modifications to a high-pressure gas system, supporting the construction of a large-scale test rig or preparing for a full-scale explosion experiment.\nNo two projects are the same, and many involve challenges that have never previously been addressed at full scale.\nWhat you’ll do:\nDesign and construct large scale experimental test rigs, as well as gas storage and piping systems.\nDesigning and implementing gas distribution systems.\nPerforming regular maintenance and inspections.\nEnsuring compliance with safety regulations.\nEmergency response planning and procedures.\nAttend safety meetings such as HAZIDs and stay up to date with current test procedures.\nCommunicate effectively with technical colleagues\nOur Technician roles offer an exceptional opportunity to develop rapidly within a highly capable multidisciplinary team. Working alongside experienced engineers and technical specialists, you will gain a broad range of practical experience across mechanical and gas assets including pipeline and pressure systems. You will be encouraged to broaden your technical knowledge and build the skills needed to progress your career.\n While the work is globally significant, the location offers something increasingly rare. Situated on the Cumbrian side of the border with Northumberland, Spadeadam provides access to some of the most spectacular landscapes in the United Kingdom. The Lake District, Northumberland National Park, Hadrian's Wall and the Solway Coast are all within easy reach.\nMany colleagues choose to live in rural villages, market towns, Carlisle, Newcastle or southern Scotland, combining an exceptional quality of life with technically challenging and rewarding careers.\nAs our research, testing and engineering activities are highly practical and collaborative, this role is predominantly site-based at Spadeadam. Whilst occasional flexibility may be possible where project requirements allow, applicants should expect to spend the vast majority of their working time on site and this role is therefore likely to be best suited to someone within reasonable daily commuting distance of the facility.\nReward and Benefits:\nWe value all our people and the contributions they make to our business, so it’s important that our rewards make us all feel valued here. That’s why we offer a flexible reward and benefits package, allowing you to choose the things that matter most to you, including;\nFantastic training, educational and development opportunities to grow and enhance your skills\nNon-contractual Profit Share Scheme\nLifestyle benefits: 26 days annual leave + bank holidays, opportunity for up to 10 days unpaid leave, sabbatical leave, flexible working options\nWellbeing benefits: (incl. Private Medical, Dental Insurance, Health Assessments, Gym allowance). Company contribution towards eye tests and glasses (for computer/laptop users), and Flu Vaccinations. Also, our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) provides free and confidential support for issues including work, family, relationships, money and health \nFinancial Benefits: including a Pension Scheme with employer pension contributions up to 9%, Life Assurance and Income Protection\nRe-imbursement of relevant Professional Membership Fees (up to £570)\nAccess to employee retail discount site for high street and on-line shopping\nDNV is an Equal Opportunity Employer and gives consideration for employment to qualified applicants without regard to gender, religion, race, national or ethnic origin, cultural background, social group, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, age or political opinion. Diversity is fundamental to our culture and we invite you to be part of this diversity.\n Above all, we are looking for practical technicians who enjoy collaborating on challenging problems and translating technical principles into real-world solutions. You should bring strong technical fundamentals, sound judgement, curiosity, clear communication and a commitment to helping deliver high-quality work safely and professionally.\nWe are particularly interested in candidates with practical experience in the gas industry, ideally with one or more of the following qualifications:\nCity & Guilds 662-2 Level 3 Certificate for Service Engineers (GAS)\nLevel 3 6006 NVQ Gas Services Installation & Maintenance\nLevel 3 6012 NVQ Domestic Natural Gas Installation & Maintenance\nLevel 3 6012 NVQ in Gas Emergency Service Operations\nLevel 3 6013 NVQ Gas Installation and Maintenance\nThe following qualifications would also be advantageous:\nACS Qualification Core Domestic Natural Gas Safety (CCN1)\nACS Qualification CoNGLP1 PD\nWe also recognise that the right practical skills can be developed through a broader mechanical engineering background. If you don’t hold the gas-specific qualifications above, we would still welcome applications from experienced Mechanical Technicians with relevant qualifications such as:\nNVQ in General or Mechanical Engineering\nHNC in Gas Engineering or Mechanical Engineering\nAdditional requirements:\nYou will also require a full UK driving licence as our site is not accessible by public transport. In addition, due to the nature of our site in Cumbria, we may require you to obtain and maintain UK Security Clearance (we’ll assist with the application).\nSecurity and compliance with statutory requirements in the countries in which we operate is essential for DNV. Background checks will be conducted on all final candidates as part of the offer process, in accordance with applicable country-specific laws and practices.","description_format":"text","description_chars":8074,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Annual leave","Dental insurance","Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T19:11:44Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":38,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/dnv-mechanical-and-gas-technicians","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/dnv-mechanical-and-gas-technicians.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T17:18:33Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":25099,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1755554},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1755554"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdnv-mechanical-and-gas-technicians"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdnv-mechanical-and-gas-technicians"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdnv-mechanical-and-gas-technicians"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/dnv-mechanical-and-gas-technicians\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdnv-mechanical-and-gas-technicians"}]}
