Technical Survey & Service Engineer – Renewables - Cambridge

(Heat Pumps & Solar)

Our client is seeking a motivated Technical Survey and Service Engineer to support their mission of accelerating the UK’s transition to low‑carbon heating. If you’re passionate about climate impact and want to play a key role in the UK’s net‑zero journey, this role offers an exciting opportunity to step into a more technical, design‑focused position.

As a nationwide heat pump installation partner trusted by leading manufacturers and retailers, our client is working towards becoming the UK’s number‑one heat pump installer. With ambitious growth plans, a commitment to sustainability, and a focus on building an inspiring workplace, they are helping address the UK’s skills shortage in climate‑tech trades.

Role Overview

You’ll lead the technical surveying and system design process for residential heat pump and solar installations, ensuring every system is efficient, compliant, and tailored to the customer’s home. This includes conducting on‑site surveys, producing accurate heat‑loss calculations, and supporting field teams with occasional servicing and reactive maintenance.

It’s an excellent opportunity for someone with hands‑on plumbing or renewable heating experience who is ready to move off the tools and into a more technical, design‑led role.

  * Support the development and refinement of survey and design processes

  * Troubleshoot and improve system designs based on real‑world installation feedback

  * Stay up to date with industry standards, products, and best practices

Requirements

You’ll be an experienced heating engineer with strong knowledge of heating system design and the ability to diagnose faults effectively.

Essential

  * Proven experience working with heat pump systems

  * Strong understanding of building fabric, heat loss, and hydronic systems

  * Confident and professional with customers

  * Familiarity with MCS standards and compliance requirements

  * Excellent attention to detail with the ability to balance accuracy and efficiency

  * Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, evolving startup environment

  * Willing to travel for up to two surveys per day

  * Clean UK driving licence

  * NVQ Level 3 or above in plumbing or heating

Preferable

  * BPEC or equivalent qualification in heat pump design

  * Experience leading teams or managing technical workflows

Benefits

  * On‑target earnings of £50,000+ per year

  * Bonus scheme

  * 28 days holiday per year (including national holidays)

  * Company vehicle
