Want a job with good pay and progression opportunities focused on tackling the climate crisis? Generation UK have a great training opportunity for you!
To tackle climate change we need to improve the energy efficiency of a large part of the UK’s ~27 million homes by installing insulation and new technologies (e.g. solar panels) in a process called retrofit.
Apply today!Retrofit Advisors play a key role in this and the green transition. Day to day they deliver great phone/email-based customer support and advice to people going through or considering retrofits and drive things forward behind the scenes booking installers and contractors, processing grant applications, reviewing surveys and progress, and conducting initial online property assessments.
Retrofit Advisors are in growing demand across energy companies, specialist installers, housing associations and local councils. It’s estimated we’ll need ~10,000 skilled retrofit professionals by 2025 alone! And as a Retrofit Advisor, you can progress quickly in work earning up to £30k in 2 years as a qualified Retrofit Assessor.
