Why Join Red Van Plumbers?
Heppelthwaite the Red Van Plumbers is a family-run plumbing, heating and renewable energy company, established in 1948. We’re MCS certified for heat pump installations, so you’ll work on fully compliant, properly designed systems.
Heat pumps are one of the fastest-growing parts of our business. Government support, such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, means more homeowners are making the switch every year. That means steady, long-term work for skilled installers.
We invest in training and development, and we want engineers who’d like to build a long-term career with us.
The Role
We’re recruiting experienced Heat Pump Installers to install, service and repair heat pump systems in customers’ homes. Most of our work is air source heat pumps, with some ground source heat pumps.
Our systems are air-to-water, providing heating and hot water through radiators, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders. As one of our engineers, you’ll represent Red Van Plumbers in people’s homes. So we’re looking for someone who takes pride in their technical work and their customer service.
What We’re Looking For
You’ll need:
- Experience installing heat pump systems
- Experience servicing, repairing and fault finding on heat pumps
- Good general plumbing and heating knowledge
- A full UK driving licence
It would help if you have:
- Experience on MCS-certified installations
- A Level 3 heat pump qualification
- F-Gas certification
- Unvented hot water (G3) and Water Regulations qualifications
- Underfloor heating experience
Good communication and customer service skills are important too. Above all, we want engineers who are professional, reliable and keen to keep learning.
Gas Engineer or Plumber Moving Into Heat Pumps?
We’re keen to hear from multi-skilled engineers. If you’re an experienced gas engineer or plumber with some heat pump experience, tell us about it. We’ll take your wider skills and qualifications into account when discussing the role and salary.
Experience with boilers, oil, LPG, underfloor heating or solar could also open up more opportunities within our team.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Installing air source and ground source heat pump systems
- Commissioning systems and checking they run correctly
- Servicing and maintaining heat pumps to manufacturer guidelines
- Diagnosing faults and carrying out repairs
- Carrying out general plumbing and heating work
- Identifying and managing risks on site
- Keeping customers and our office team informed
- Completing job information on a tablet or smartphone
Occasional out-of-hours work may be needed.

We’re also part of the Evans Group, alongside Green Building Solutions, Heated Floors, R.G. Evans and Evans Design. That brings even more ways to develop, from solar and underfloor heating to supervisory roles.
