Ready to transition into renewables and future-proof your career? The heating industry is shifting fast, and green energy is the future. Our client is looking for a motivated Junior or Improver Plumbing & Heating / HVAC Engineer based near Horsham to join the growing team.
If you already have your core qualifications but want to become a specialist in installing and servicing Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs), this is your perfect career path. You will be given the hands-on training and mentorship you need to become a fully qualified renewables expert.
What We Are Looking For
You don’t need to be a heat pump expert yet—you will be taught that. But you do need a solid foundation in the trade and the right attitude.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

Client-Facing Skills: You will be working inside customers' homes. A polite, respectful demeanour and excellent communication skills are non-negotiable.
