Heating Engineer

Gas Engineer / Heating Engineer — Train in Heat Pumps — Whitehaven, Cumbria

£33,000-£42,000 + company van + pension

Full-time
· Based in Whitehaven
· Jobs across West Cumbria and the Lake District

We install and maintain air-source heat pumps, solar and battery systems alongside conventional gas and central heating across Cumbria. We're looking for a Gas Safe registered engineer — or a strong heating engineer ready to qualify — who wants to add heat pump skills to their trade. You'll work on a mix of gas and renewable heating jobs from day one, and we'll fund the manufacturer courses and formal training to make you a dual-skilled Renewables & Heating Engineer.

Heat pumps are where domestic heating is going; this is the chance to get there early without giving up the gas work you know.

• Installing and commissioning air-source heat pumps and gas heating systems, domestic and light commercial
• Maintenance, testing and compliance checks to MCS and Gas Safe standards
• Working alongside our electrical and design teams on full-system installs
• Completing service reports and handover documentation, and looking after customers properly on site

• Gas Safe registration with current ACS qualifications (CCN1 plus relevant appliance categories), or NVQ Level 2/3 in plumbing and heating with solid domestic heating experience and willingness to complete gas or heat pump qualifications with our support
• Strong understanding of wet heating systems, controls and fault-finding
• 2+ years' hands-on experience in heating or plumbing
• Full UK driving licence and right to work in the UK
• Within commuting distance of Whitehaven, or willing to relocate

• Heat pump experience
• G3 unvented
• Underfloor heating experience
• Water regulations (WRAS)

No renewables experience is needed. The training is the point of this role — we'll fund the courses and give you the site experience to use them.

• Future-proof your trade: funded heat pump training and manufacturer accreditation while gas work still pays the bills — dual-skilled engineers are becoming the most employable people in heating
• Local work:
  Cumbria and the Lakes, home every night
• A growing, well-run company: MCS accredited, strong manufacturer ties, full order book
• Company van, pension, global travel insurance

We design, install and maintain heat pumps, solar PV, battery storage and heating systems for homes and businesses across Cumbria. We're a friendly team that does things properly, with structured training and long-term customer relationships rather than churn-and-burn installs.
