We are a forward-thinking organisation specialising in domestic retrofit, supporting households in reducing energy consumption, lowering costs, and achieving net zero ambitions. Our mission is to deliver high-quality retrofit services across the UK, enabling a greener and more sustainable future.

Role Overview

We are seeking a qualified Retrofit Assessor who also carries out Pre-Installation Building Inspections (PIBI) in line with PAS 2035 guidance. This role will also complete the supporting Technical Survey for insulation measures. This combined role ensures both compliant retrofit assessments and robust site readiness checks are completed simultaneously, improving installation quality and reducing the risk of delays or design errors.

The Retrofit Assessor will work closely with the company’s Operations team, Retrofit Coordinators, and Designers to provide accurate, evidence-based assessments that support successful project delivery.

• Complete and submit fully compliant Retrofit Assessment Reports to support whole-house retrofit planning.
• Identify and record any potential risks or limitations related to retrofit measures.
• Ensure resident engagement and communication is clear, supportive, and professional.

Pre-Installation Building Inspection (PIBI)  / Technical Survey

• Use the PIBI to identify any technical, logistical, or safety-related issues that may impact installation.
• Complete Technical Surveys for insulation measures to allow the business to develop an effective scope of work for pricing and compliance purposes.
• Provide clear and accurate photographic evidence and supporting notes.
• Liaise with Retrofit Coordinators and Designers if issues arise that may require redesign or remedial work before installation.
