Retrofit Coordinator Manager

Gloucestershire, United Kingdom

Our Retrofit Coordinator Manager will get to work on a broad portfolio of projects, meaning you will not just be delivering compliance but working on gold standard retrofit.

At Severn Wye, we believe retrofit is not just about compliance but also about giving the best possible advice to our clients. We have a range of projects across both able-to-pay and affordable warmth sectors; we do not work with individual installers or single measures, meaning you will have the opportunity to work on a range of property types with different measures looking for the best solution property by property.

You will already be an experienced Retrofit Coordinator Manager (L5 Retrofit Coordination and Risk Management), delivering PAS 2035-compliant work through any accreditation body. You will have a passion for delivering the best outcomes for all parties through a pragmatic approach to retrofit.

You will share our passion for using retrofit to create a more sustainable future where everyone can afford to heat their homes. You will have experience communicating complex ideas and concepts to homeowners and occupiers through written reports as well as verbally. You will Manage the Retrofit Coordinator team and work with the Assessors and Home Energy Experts within an organisation with over 25 years of experience.

In return for your skills and hard work, we offer a competitive salary, appropriate training and a company pension scheme. If you want to strengthen your career, broaden your experience and contribute to a sustainable future, we’d love to hear from you.
