Renewable Technologies Plumber / ASHP Engineer

£50,000 – £55,000 + Electric Van + Private Healthcare + Excellent Benefits

Due to continued growth and a major increase in housing association work, we are recruiting experienced Renewable Technologies Plumbers / ASHP Engineers for a well-established renewable energy business.

The company has recently secured 48 housing association contracts, including major providers such as L&Q, Clarion and Riverside, creating long-term demand for experienced engineers across London and the South East.

The majority of the work will be across London, Greater London and inside the M25, with additional work throughout the surrounding Home Counties. Engineers can therefore be based in areas such as Kent, Essex, Surrey, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and surrounding locations, with work allocated as locally as possible.

This is primarily a service, maintenance, fault-finding and repair role rather than a straight installation position.

The role will involve:

Servicing and maintaining Air Source Heat Pumps
Fault finding and reactive repairs
Diagnosing heating and hot-water system issues
Working on cylinders, pumps, valves and controls
Underfloor heating systems
Vented and unvented hot-water systems
Water Regulations-related works
Heat recovery / renewable heating systems
Solar thermal / solar hot-water systems where applicable
Completing service documentation via PDA/tablet
Working in occupied residential and social-housing properties

Genuine Air Source Heat Pump experience
A recognised Level 3 ASHP / Heat Pump qualification
Strong plumbing and heating background

MCS environments
BPEC / City & Guilds renewable qualifications
Social housing or occupied residential properties
The company will consider strong plumbing and heating engineers who meet most of the requirements but may need some additional renewable training, depending on their existing experience.
