Job description

We are looking for an Adult Trainee Heating Engineer to join our growing renewable heating team in Westhill, Aberdeenshire.

This role provides a structured route into renewable heating for someone with the right practical ability and attitude who is looking for a new long term career.

You will learn alongside our experienced engineers while gaining the practical skills and qualifications needed to install, commission and maintain air source heat pump and heating systems.

Some plumbing or heating experience would be useful, but it is not essential. We are particularly interested in people from practical or technical backgrounds who are keen to develop new skills.

Key responsibilities include:

• Working alongside our installation teams on air source heat pump projects
• Installing pipework, cylinders and heat emitters under supervision
• Developing towards completing work independently as your experience grows
• Assisting with system commissioning and customer handovers
• Supporting servicing, maintenance and fault finding visits
• Completing job records, photographs and compliance documentation accurately
• Working safely and professionally in customers' homes
• Representing our team to a high standard on every project

This role would suit someone with a practical, hands on background who wants to move into renewable heating. Experience in plumbing, electrical work, joinery, engineering, maintenance, the armed forces or offshore industry would be useful, although previous trade experience is not essential.

Applicants should have good practical problem solving skills, attention to detail, confidence dealing with customers and basic IT skills for job apps, photographs and digital paperwork. A full UK driving licence is essential.

Training can include structured practical training with a dedicated mentor, accredited heat pump installation qualifications, water regulations training, unvented hot water certification, F Gas awareness, manufacturer product training, commissioning training and the option to work towards an SVQ in Plumbing and Heating where appropriate.

The position is full time and permanent. Salary is £20,000 to £30,000 per year during training, rising on qualification. Benefits include paid structured training, company uniform, PPE, tools, workplace pension, 28 days holiday including bank holidays, company van and fuel card once qualified and working independently, ongoing technical and manufacturer training, and progression opportunities into design, commissioning or surveying roles.
