Heat Pump Engineer

Heat Pump Engineer

Central Scotland | To £45,000 | Full-Time, Permanent

A growing and ambitious renewable energy contractor is looking to add experienced Heat Pump Engineers to its team as part of an exciting expansion phase.

This is a great opportunity to join a small but rapidly scaling business, where engineers are valued, progression is real, and high-quality work is prioritised over volume installs.

The Role

Covering projects across Glasgow and Edinburgh, you’ll be responsible for delivering complete heat pump installations within domestic and small commercial environments.

You’ll take full ownership of installations from start to finish, working independently on-site while maintaining high technical standards and customer satisfaction.

Key responsibilities include:

• Installation of air source heat pump systems
• Upgrading existing heating systems for low-temperature operation
• Installing cylinders, pipework, and emitters
• Commissioning systems and handing over to clients
• Fault finding, servicing, and remedial works
• Managing materials and ensuring smooth project delivery

The Candidate

We’re looking for a capable and self-sufficient engineer who takes pride in their work and is confident running jobs independently.

You should have:

• Strong experience in heating system installations
• Exposure to or experience with heat pumps
• Gas Safe registration
• Good understanding of domestic heating systems and regulations
• Full UK driving licence

Desirable:

• Experience with underfloor heating systems
• Ability to interpret heat loss calculations or system designs
• Strong fault-finding skills

The Package

• Salary: £40,000 – £45,000
• 28 days holiday
• 8% pension
• Company van
• Tools, PPE, and equipment provided
• Paid holidays
• Ongoing training in renewable technologies

Career Progression

This is where the role really stands out.

You’ll be joining a small, growing company where expansion is already underway – meaning there is genuine opportunity to:

• Progress into Senior Engineer or Lead Installer roles
• Move into technical surveying, design, or supervisory positions
• Play a key role in shaping installation standards and processes
• Grow with the business as it scales, rather than being just another number

Engineers who show initiative and strong performance will have the chance to step up quickly and take on more responsibility.

Why Apply?

If you’re looking to move away from high-volume installs and join a business that focuses on doing things properly, while offering real long-term progression, this is an excellent opportunity within the renewable sector.
