Overview

Are you committed to making a positive impact on the climate? Installio is on the hunt for an enthusiastic individual to join our dynamic team as a Heat Pump surveyor and designer, ready to help tackle the UK’s net-zero transition.

  • Stay current with industry standards, products, and best practices

Requirements

You’ll be an experienced heating engineer with knowledge of heating system design and the ability to fault find.

  • Proven experience in heat pump system
  • Strong understanding of building fabric, heat loss, and hydronic systems
  • Good with customers
  • Familiarity with MCS standards and compliance requirements
  • Excellent attention to detail and ability to balance efficiency with accuracy
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving startup environment
  • Willing to drive to up to 2 surveys each day
  • Clean UK driving licence

Preferable:
