At Sureserve Energy Services UK, excellence is not just an expectation; it's our standard.
We are at the forefront of providing stellar asset and energy services across the UK.
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to elevate the quality of life in the communities we serve by innovating and improving the spaces where people reside, work, and gather.
This is a pivotal role, based in Livingston, established to bridge the gap between high-level project management and technical design execution.
Leading a small team of design engineers, you will supervise the full project lifecycle, spanning investment-grade proposals, carbon reduction strategies, and complex renewable energy system integrations (including Solar PV, ASHP, and emerging technologies) for both residential and commercial portfolios.
This will suit a commercially-minded, technically robust leader who can drive environmental change, optimize design team workflows, and deliver cost-effective, future-ready energy solutions that maximize ROI for clients.
Key Responsibilities Supervise, mentor, and develop a multidisciplinary team of renewable design engineers while managing the overall design pipeline.
Allocate design resources effectively to support Project Managers, Contracts Managers, and field installation teams.
Conduct technical reviews to ensure strict numerical accuracy, design integrity, and compliance across all team outputs.
Optimize Solar PV, Air Source Heat Pump, and heat recovery designs to maximize long-term reliability and cost-effectiveness.
Guide the team in translating client briefs into high-margin, innovative investment-grade energy proposals.
Analyze measured energy data and fuel usage to help clients lower carbon emissions and improve portfolio ROI.
Manage complex design projects through their full lifecycle, from initial energy assessment to final installation sign-off.
Ensure all system designs meet existing Building Regulations, planning policies, and future legislative shifts.
Provide expert troubleshooting and swift design revisions during the retrofit and installation phases.
Maintain an up-to-date technical understanding of emerging renewable technologies (e. g., hydrogen gas, advanced storage).
Experience & Qualifications Degree in a relevant discipline (e. g., Design Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Sustainability, Renewable Energy, or Systems Design).
Valid Driver's License (required for site visits and client presentations).
Proven experience mentoring junior engineers or leading technical project components within a fast-paced engineering environment.
Strong practical experience designing and specifying domestic and commercial energy efficiency solutions, specifically Solar PV and Heat Pump technologies.
Demonstrated success in translating energy data into financial savings, carbon-reduction strategies, and persuasive client proposals.
Highly competent in technical design software, database systems, Microsoft Office, and the Adobe suite.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to present complex technical data clearly to non-technical commercial clients and multi-disciplinary teams.
Hands-on experience developing functional strategies and procedures for large-scale carbon reduction.
Deep knowledge of retrofit frameworks, planning permissions, and Building Regulation compliance documentation within the built environment.
What we offer: Base salary £35,000 29 days annual leave (includes statutory bank holidays and Christmas/New Year closure).
Employer-contributed pension scheme Enhanced Maternity/Paternity leave, Flexible Benefits (Bike to Work, Health Shield care plan), and Employee Assistance Program.
