This role is pivotal to our commercial strategy, overseeing the financial health of complex Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) and Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) installations.

Contractual Knowledge: Proficiency in managing JCT and NEC contracts, with the ability to interpret complex technical specifications.
Location: Must be based within a commutable distance of Bristol and hold a valid UK driving license for site visits across the South West.
Rewards & Progression
Salary: £55,000 – £70,000 (Dependent on experience).
