Plumbing & Heating Installation Engineer – Heat Pump Training ProvidedAbout Heat Different
Heat Different is a multi-award-winning designer and installer of renewable heating and hot water systems for domestic and commercial properties.
We pride ourselves on installing exceptionally high-quality heating systems using carefully selected materials and equipment. The quality of our workmanship and attention to detail are a huge part of what sets us apart.
We're looking for an experienced plumber or heating engineer to join our installation team.
Previous heat pump experience is not necessary.
If you're a skilled plumber or heating engineer who takes pride in producing neat, high-quality work, we'll provide the training and support needed to develop your knowledge of heat pumps and renewable heating systems.
The Role
Do you take pride in standing back at the end of an installation and looking at something you've built properly?
We're looking for someone who enjoys creating exceptionally neat heating installations, cares about the details and wants their workmanship to speak for itself.
As a Heat Different Installation Engineer, you'll work on the installation of our air source and ground source heat pump systems.
You'll work from our system designs and schematics, installing pipework and components neatly, accurately and with care.
You'll also be an important point of contact for our customers while you're on site, keeping them informed of progress and representing Heat Different to the high standard we're known for.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Installing heating and hot water systems in domestic and commercial properties
- Installing pipework, cylinders, pumps, valves and other system components
- Working accurately from system schematics and installation drawings
- Producing exceptionally neat and well-presented pipework
- Testing, flushing, filling and preparing systems for commissioning
- Identifying and solving installation problems on site
- Keeping customers informed of progress throughout the installation
- Completing digital installation records and documentation
- Organising materials and managing stock required for installations
- Working effectively with other engineers and members of the Heat Different team
- Providing feedback and identifying ways we can continually improve our installation process
New to Heat Pumps? We'll Train You.
We're much more interested in finding someone with excellent plumbing skills, the right attitude and a genuine pride in their workmanship than someone who already knows everything about heat pumps.

- Confidence communicating professionally with customers
- Good digital documentation skills
- The ability to work independently and make sensible decisions on site
- A willingness to learn and develop new technical skills
- A positive, team-focused attitude
Above all, we're looking for someone who cares about the quality of what they install.

We want our installations to perform brilliantly and look like they've been installed by people who care about their craft.
If you're a plumber or heating engineer who takes pride in neat pipework, enjoys solving problems and likes leaving a job knowing it's been done properly, we'd like to hear from you.
