- Uphold VitoEnergy’s standards for safety, workmanship, and customer service.
Required Skills & Experience- Minimum 5 years’ experience in heating or renewables, ideally with air/ground source heat pump commissioning.
- NVQ Level 3 Plumbing & Heating (or equivalent trade qualification).
- G3 Unvented, and Part L certification desirable.
- Strong understanding of hydronic system design, controls, and fault-finding.
- Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel regionally.

- Experience on commercial or listed-building projects.
- Ability to train or mentor others.
Package & Benefits- Competitive salary (dependent on experience).
