This is an exciting opportunity to join Building Energy Experts, an award-winning sustainability consultancy, as an Apprentice Energy Technician. You’ll gain hands-on experience helping improve the energy performance of homes across the UK while working towards the Energy Manager Level 3 Apprenticeship.

No two days are the same. You’ll travel to sites across the country, learn specialist surveying and testing techniques, work alongside experienced energy professionals and develop the skills needed to build a rewarding career in the growing retrofit and low-carbon sector.

If you’re practical, enjoy solving problems, love being out and about rather than sitting behind a desk, and want to play your part in helping the UK reach Net Zero, this could be the perfect opportunity.

Working with developers, housing providers and homeowners across the UK, they are passionate about creating better, more sustainable homes while developing the next generation of energy professionals.

This is a varied, site-based role where you’ll learn directly from experienced specialists.

• Building performance surveys
• Collecting and analysing energy performance data

Your assessments will help shape energy improvement projects that reduce carbon emissions and improve the quality of homes.

Please note:
