Job Description

As governments worldwide prioritise climate change and renewable energy, our role in creating sustainable heat network infrastructure has never been more vital. Rendesco are at the forefront of low-carbon heat solutions, leading the way in a rapidly evolving sector.

Since our inception in 2012, Rendesco has pioneered the heat pump sector, offering comprehensive services from design and installation to ownership and operation of low-carbon heating systems. With hundreds of successful projects under our belt, our experienced teams lead the UK in renewable heating solutions.

Joining our team at this stage offers the exciting opportunity to shape our growth story and contribute to the decarbonisation of a crucial sector. We pride ourselves on our dynamic, open culture and flat hierarchy. Our team is as diverse as it is passionate, driven by a shared mission and a commitment to seize every opportunity that comes our way.
