This role would suit someone with a practical, hands on background who wants to move into renewable heating. Experience in plumbing, electrical work, joinery, engineering, maintenance, the armed forces or offshore industry would be useful, although previous trade experience is not essential.
Applicants should have good practical problem solving skills, attention to detail, confidence dealing with customers and basic IT skills for job apps, photographs and digital paperwork. A full UK driving licence is essential.
Training can include structured practical training with a dedicated mentor, accredited heat pump installation qualifications, water regulations training, unvented hot water certification, F Gas awareness, manufacturer product training, commissioning training and the option to work towards an SVQ in Plumbing and Heating where appropriate.
