About us
Dartmoor Energy is a renewable energy and retrofit surveying company based on the Devon and Cornwall border, and winner of Energy Consultant of the Year at the Energy Efficiency Awards. Our aim is to simplify the often confusing world of domestic energy efficiency by giving concise, expert advice on energy measures to a varied customer base.
We are a team of highly experienced and qualified Retrofit Coordinators, Retrofit Assessors, Retrofit Designers, Heat Pump Designers, Solar PV Designers and Domestic Energy Assessors, delivering high quality survey work with a focus on using technology to improve processes and results.

We pride ourselves on our team ethic, work environment and flexible approach to work/life balance.
The role

- Carry out retrofit assessments using PAS Hub and ECMK: RdSAP, condition, occupancy and ventilation surveys, with clear, accurate reports
- Carry out site visits throughout delivery to check work is progressing to design and to standard, and resolve issues on the ground
