Location: North & West London and parts of Hampshire, Berkshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire (roughly within one hour’s drive of Wembley)
Salary: Competitive, with a London adjustment for candidates inside the M25.
Contract: Full-time, Permanent
Start date: 1st August or as soon as possible
About Us
We’re on a mission to make it easier for homeowners to switch from gas boilers to air source heat pumps.
Decarbonising heating is one of the most important challenges of our time. To speed up the transition, we’re focused on improving every part of the installation process, using better technology and tools, so we can deliver high-quality heat pump installations more efficiently and cost-effectively.
We’re building our systems, culture, and reputation from the ground up. If you’re excited about helping shape how we work and setting a new standard for the UK heat pump industry, we’d love to hear from you.
About the Role
We’re looking for an experienced and friendly Lead Installer to take ownership of the heat pump installation process — from arriving at the customer’s door, managing the installation team, and handing over to the customer.
What You’ll Be Doing
On a day-to-day basis, you will:
- Lead on-site installations, managing team members and subcontractors (plumbers, electricians, gas engineers), maintaining technical standards, and ensuring smooth delivery
- Install the heat pump, cylinder, and all necessary components and pipework
- Commission and test installed systems, resolving issues promptly
- Act as the face of the company on-site, building trust with customers and ensuring a great experience throughout
- Complete customer handovers, ensuring confidence and comfort using their new system
- Service previous installations, diagnosing faults and carrying out repairs
- Track all work using your company tablet with modern software and tools
- Lead all on-site health and safety, ensuring compliance with MCS, HIES, and internal quality standards
In addition, you’ll spend around 20% of your time:
- Improving standard operating procedures, installation checklists, and compliance and safety documentation to ensure full MCS and HIES compliance
- Helping recruit, train, and mentor new installation team members as we grow
- Proactively improving tools, training, workflows, and the customer experience
Where You’ll Be Working
Most work will take place on-site across North & West London and surrounding Home Counties, typically within one hour’s drive of Wembley.
What We’re Looking For
- At least 2 years’ hands-on experience installing air source heat pumps in residential properties
- Qualified plumber or gas engineer (Gas Safe registration beneficial but not essential)
- Experience leading small teams or managing subcontractors on site
- Strong knowledge of MCS standards and good installation practice
- Confident, clear communicator, especially with customers
- Friendly, approachable manner and a genuine desire to help people
- Passion for low-carbon heating and raising standards in the industry
- Comfortable working in a startup environment with evolving systems
- Electrical awareness or experience commissioning heat pump controls
- Willingness to participate in an emergency out-of-hours rota
- Right to work in the UK
- Valid UK driving licence with no more than 6 points
What We Offer
- A chance to help shape a business from the ground up, with real input into how things are built
- An agile culture where every project is reviewed to improve how we work
- A supportive team that values quality, integrity, and sustainable workloads
- Opportunities to grow into senior leadership roles as the company scales
- Company van (or allowance for using your own vehicle), tools, PPE, and full operational support
- Workplace pension scheme
