About us

We are on a mission to decarbonise homes and help households save on their energy bills. Founded on research from the University of Oxford in 2014, we have grown into a company with world-class technology tackling one of the biggest challenges in the energy transition: hot water.

As the UK electrifies, every home will need a hot water cylinder. Our smart technology turns each one into a connected heat battery, helping the grid take on more renewable energy while lowering bills for homeowners and tenants.

In 2025 we were awarded the King's Award for Enterprise in Innovation, and we recently secured £12 million in funding led by Barclays Climate Ventures to accelerate our next phase of growth. We are also an accredited Living Wage Employer.

The role

Working from our helpdesk, you will take inbound calls and Hub Spot tickets, get to the bottom of technical and product issues, and guide people through commissioning, connectivity and everyday use of our products and app.

You will support homeowners and end users, installers, merchants, new build developers, social housing managers and commercial building managers.
