Job description

We provide smart and sustainable heat network solutions to local authorities, housing associations, managing agents and private developers for residential developments. We work to optimise energy efficiency, manage the delivery of renewable energy, retrofit underperforming schemes to ensure future decarbonisation, all while striving to minimise costs for residents who live there.
