British Gas phone interview

[glasgowplumber]

First post on here, don't know if this is the correct place to put the thread or not.


I've got a phone interview with British Gas for Technical Installation Gas Engineer. Anybody had one recently? What sort of stuff do they ask? I've not had a job interview in about 5 or 6 years so i'm not sure what to expect.

Any help appreciated

Does it need a power flush ? It's all obsolete and can't be fixed.

All answers been said but if being picky the returns could go closer to boiler seperatly b4 teeing in together, oh and it defo needs a powerflush and a magnaclean

I thought they were plans they installed to?
only thing missing is a manga clean on the flow.

 

[Ermintrude]

You won't get job either ! Auto air on flow and spiro on return

Hi glasgowplumber, I hope your phone interview went well. I have one tomorrow and was emailed the same diagram. I've been reading through the replies on to your original post and wondered if you had any advice on it and the other questions. I hate multi choice exams at the best of times and the thought of doing it over the phone with a stranger has started making me anxious. I know I'm capable and have the knowledge stored away somewhere, I just don't want nerves making me overlook the obvious and coming across a dunce

Like you, I haven't had an interview for about the same time if not longer and haven't done an exam for nearly 3 years since gas safe, so any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers, Andy

The glaringly obvious ones are: no supports under cws & fe tanks and cylinder.

No magnetic filter so obvs will need a power flush.

being picky but

no trv's
no drain point

 

[southcoastboile]

No mavs on flow and return above boiler, no Aav on coil?

I really love it how everyone slates British Gas. Some of the dodgy workmanship I have seen by independant installers and contractors is disgraceful.

Yeh people love to hate the big boys.

I used to work for them (ESD)
Cant complain - they looked after me, even if they were after engineers who were salesmen lol !
