Employment Type: Permanent, Full-time
Positions Available: Four

Valoris Group is recruiting four experienced domestic plumbing and heating engineers for a growing renewable heating company.

We require:

• Two installers with current Gas Safe qualifications

Candidates holding both qualifications are particularly desirable.

These are not entry-level positions. Applicants must be competent engineers who can work effectively within a two-person team without constant supervision. Heat-pump-specific training can be provided, but candidates must already have strong domestic heating, plumbing and pipework experience.

Responsibilities

• Installing complete air source heat pump systems
• Installing and commissioning unvented cylinders
• Installing copper pipework, radiators, pumps, valves and controls
• Completing heating-system upgrades and alterationsReading surveys, drawings and installation specifications
• Pressure testing, flushing, filling and commissioning systems
• Identifying installation, design or material issues
• Completing photographs, checklists and commissioning records
• Providing customers with a professional system handover
• Supporting remedial and servicing work when required

Candidate Requirements

• Substantial recent domestic plumbing and heating experience
• Current Gas Safe or G3 qualification
• Experience completing full domestic heating installations
• Able to install and commission cylinders independently
• Strong copper pipework skills
• Understanding of testing, flushing, filling and commissioning
• Full UK driving licence
• Professional and trustworthy in customers' homes
• Previous air source heat pump experience is strongly preferred

Candidates whose experience is mainly as a mate, assistant, improver, maintenance plumber, bathroom fitter or first-fix plumber will not be suitable unless they can demonstrate full heating-system installation and commissioning experience.

Travel Requirements

This is a national role, not a local Farnham-only position. Candidates must accept:

• Regular travel and early departures
• Variable journey times and occasional later finishes
• Occasional approved overtime
• Occasional overnight stays
• Attendance at the Farnham warehouse when required

A company vehicle may be taken home, subject to company policy. Travel exceeding the first 30 minutes of each journey may be paid at the standard hourly rate, subject to approval.

For overnight work, the company will arrange and pay for accommodation. Dinner and breakfast will normally be included, with up to £30 available for an evening meal where dinner is not provided.

Performance Incentives

Installation teams are expected to complete at least two high-quality installations per week.

A discretionary payment of £125 per installer may be available for each qualifying installation completed above this target. A £50 tool voucher may also be awarded following a qualifying five-star customer review.

All offers are subject to satisfactory references, right-to-work checks, qualification verification and driving-licence checks.
