We're looking for surveyors that are able to work in Bristol and surrounding areas.

We believe energy should be better - for you and the environment.

Octopus Energy Services is spearheading the transition to greener, cheaper energy through the installation of in-home technologies; from smart meters and EV chargers; to low carbon heating, home batteries, solar, and beyond. We deliver smart energy, low carbon solutions for our customers.

We’ve fallen head-over-heels with smart meters, heat pumps, solar PV and all renewable tech - which instantly reduce customers' carbon footprint and give them control over their energy use. We are looking for surveyors who share our vision to move away from fossil fuels, towards sustainable, smart technologies for our customers.

You will learn all about the tech at our £10m training and R&D centre to then inspire our customers with these magical systems. We are utilising Octopus Energy’s awesome tech power to make electric heating and self-generation the smart, accessible and clean choices for every home in the UK.

At Octopus, the customer is at the heart of everything we do. As the face of the whole company, our diverse, industry-leading field force delivers the outrageous experience Octopus Energy customers love and expect.

- Be resilient and adaptable to change in a fast paced environment

## What you'll have

- Experience communicating effectively with customers, ideally in a face to face domestic environment
- Previous experience within MCS accredited organisation or assessing properties for energy efficiency or insulation measures is desirable (Domestic Energy Assessor/Retro Fit Assessor qualified is highly desirable but not essential)
- Experience with talking to customers about work in their homes, ideally with a background in measuring and sizing equipment
- It would be desirable also to have experience in technologies such as heat pumps, solar PV, battery storage & electrical equipment
- Some mechanical or electrical experience is preferred but not essential - although an ability to learn quickly to support your role will be required
