Gas work qualifications

Posted by JoeBrown on August 14, 2006, 11:55 am

Would anybody be able to put me in touch with any regulatory body who
oversees gas work in the USA. I am CORGI registered in the UK, but plan to
move to America within the next year, and wondered whether my qualifications
(expensive and not that easily obtained) would hold any sway within the
American market, or at least be a step forward re obtaining equivalent
qualifications.

I am a Breakdown / Service Engineer - I am qualified to work with Natural
Gas, Propane, Butane, Oil / Kerosene etc - from a little research it looks
like I may benefit hugely from Air Conditioning training also?

What would a similar job title be in the USA, it is difficult to find
anything using the terminology we use here in the UK, also, what would job
prospects be like, or even becoming self employed (Chicago area)?

Many thanks in anticipation,

Joe.
