Are you passionate about tackling the climate emergency? Changeworks, Scotland’s leading environmental charity, is looking for a talented individual to join its industry-leading Technical Support Team.

The Role

Reporting to the Quality Assurance Manager you will work within the Technical Support Team to support the delivery of domestic retrofit projects, primarily being delivered in the Moray and Aberdeenshire local authority area. You will be responsible for carrying out site inspections on energy efficiency measures, low carbon heat and renewable installations. In this field-based role, you will be an expert in ensuring compliance with building standards, and accustomed to liaising with external stakeholders.

You will be a good communicator, used to working with both internal and external teams. You will be confident in working individually and have strong organisational and time management skills. You will provide a high level of customer service at all times and be comfortable offering energy advice to householders.

Benefits

Changeworks is a great place to work. We hold Investors in People Platinum accreditation (something only a few organisations in Scotland have), and we were nominated for employer of the year by the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce this year. Our staff overwhelmingly would recommend us as an employer too.

The Climate Emergency has resulted in ambitious national targets to reduce carbon emissions from the built environment and reduce rates of fuel poverty. This has driven a significant increase in the number of pilot and large-scale interventions delivered by Changeworks and external organisations in this area. These include area-based domestic energy efficiency retrofit and decarbonisation projects and programmes.

We are a growing organisation, and this role is crucial to the delivery of our ambitious objectives. We want to decarbonise homes in Scotland on a massive scale, and that needs talented individuals like you to help us deliver on our objectives.

We offer a wide range of staff benefits including flexible working, bike to work scheme, an excellent pension scheme and 26 days paid holiday plus 9 public holidays per year.

At Changeworks, we welcome and encourage applications from everyone.
