What We Do

At Heat Geek, we are tackling one of the UK’s biggest carbon contributors: home heating. 20% of all UK carbon emissions stems from home heating – and that contribution is even bigger on a global scale. At Heat Geek, we are changing that. By simplifying a traditionally complex industry and revolutionising the technology used by installers, we’re making low-carbon heating mainstream. We have already prevented 2,500,000+ kg of carbon from entering our atmosphere, and we won’t stop there!

Join Us!

People are at the core of who we are and what we do. From decreasing homeowners’ energy bills to help with the cost of living, to empowering talented heating engineers to perform outstanding installations, to ensuring a greener world for all of us, we believe in the power of what we can all do together. – And we need passionate, talented, hard working people to be a part of this journey.

Your Mission

Heat Geek is excited to bring a Support Associate onto our team. In this position, you’ll be the first point of contact for installers needing help while working on live jobs. You’ll provide essential support when installers experience issues on site, helping them solve problems quickly so installations can continue smoothly. You’ll also support homeowners after their installation, ensuring they receive timely help from their installer and the correct information from Heat Geek when needed.

Working closely with our technical and account teams, your role is crucial in keeping installations moving and ensuring both installers and homeowners have a seamless experience.

If you’re reading this and it resonates with you, we know that you are talented and could do this work anywhere. But we want you to do it HERE, with us, because we need persevering teammates who care about making a real difference in the world.
