• Completing inspection, commissioning and service documentation
• Conducting professional customer handovers

What we're looking for

First and foremost, you'll be a strong, experienced and hands-on engineer. Air source heat pumps should be your strongest discipline, with the practical experience and technical knowledge to confidently work alongside other engineers while also assessing the quality of their work.

• Strong air source heat pump installation, commissioning, servicing and fault-finding experience
• Good knowledge of domestic heating systems, hydraulics, cylinders, pumps, valves and controls
• Experience or knowledge of Solar PV and battery storage systems
• Experience assessing workmanship and technical quality
• Ability to interpret schematics, technical drawings and manufacturer specifications
• Strong communication skills and a professional, customer-focused approach
• Full UK driving licence

You'll hold recognised qualifications relevant to your engineering background. These could include plumbing and heating, heat pump installation/commissioning, Solar PV, Unvented Hot Water, Water Regulations, 18th Edition, electrical energy storage, MCS or similar. You don't need to hold every qualification listed.

Manufacturer experience with Vaillant, Grant or Trianco would be beneficial, although further training can be provided.

What's on offer?

• £48,000 - £58,000 DOE, company van, fuel card, mobile phone, pension, paid annual leave and ongoing manufacturer and technical training.
