Heat Pump Engineer Jobs and Renewable Heating Recruitment
An air source heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into a home’s heating and hot water. Fitting one well needs heating design, plumbing, electrical and customer skills. Bernoullis recruits heat pump engineers, installers, heating designers and surveyors for installers of every renewable heating system, and checks qualifications, training and references before anyone starts.
Why Renewable Heating Installers Use Bernoullis
A badly designed or fitted heat pump leaves a customer cold and costs money to put right. Heat pump engineers need good heat loss, pipe sizing and commissioning skills, not just boiler experience. We look carefully at design knowledge, installation quality and customer manner, so the people we send fit your standards.
We Understand Heat Pumps
We ask about the systems you fit, the size of jobs and the design work you do before we search. Candidates are matched on the air source heat pump work they have actually done.
Training and References Checked
We confirm heat pump training, plumbing and heating qualifications and any electrical skills. References from installers or managers confirm the quality of their work.
Heat Pump Roles We Recruit

Heat Pump Engineers Are Needed Across the UK
More homes are choosing an air source heat pump. MCS recorded over 60,000 certified heat pump installations in 2025 (MCS). In England and Wales the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 towards an air source heat pump, and from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027 eligible off-gas grid homes using oil or LPG can get £9,000 (Energy Saving Trust).
Every air source heat pump and renewable heating system needs a trained engineer to fit it. Many renewable heating system installers are retraining gas and plumbing engineers, and good designers are especially hard to find.
We help installers by reaching engineers who are not scrolling job boards and explaining your role honestly. For job seekers, that means home renewables jobs that match your skills and travel.

How to Hire Heat Pump Engineers: A Practical Guide
Start with the work. New builds, retrofits and social housing programmes need different skills. Write down the systems you fit and the design work you need.
Next, decide whether you will train. Many good heat pump engineers start as gas or plumbing engineers. If you offer training, you widen the pool a lot.
Then think about design. Heat loss and system sizing are often the hardest skills to find, so consider whether design sits with the engineer or a separate designer.
Finally, be clear about pay, vans and travel. Engineers compare offers carefully.
What we assess
- Heating and plumbing qualifications
- Heat pump training
- Design and heat loss skills
- Customer manner in homes
- Right to work and references
- Driving licence and travel
