• Uphold high standards of safety, regulatory compliance, professionalism and environmental responsibility while contributing to team capability and performance.

• Extensive knowledge of domestic and commercial energy technologies, including their practical application and grid connection requirements.
• A mechanical or electrical qualification, with a sound understanding of plumbing; experience in heating systems and air source heat pump technologies is advantageous.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with confident IT literacy and the ability to present clearly to customers and stakeholders.
• The ability to positively influence and build effective working relationships across a range of stakeholder groups.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving capability, with a structured and solution‑focused approach.
• Self‑motivated and results‑driven, with a commitment to delivering high‑quality, customer‑focused outcomes.
