Sheffield, United Kingdom Hemiko Full time

**Low Carbon Heat Networks and Building Services**

**Location: based in Sheffield however, can be Flexible across the UK**

**Hemiko**

Hemiko is a fast-growing innovative business which is looking to invest in and deliver over £1bn of heat network projects in the coming years. We fund, design, build, operate and maintain low carbon district energy networks and building energy systems for communities, towns and cities. We work with local authorities, developers, house builders and property owners.

We are aiming to lead on city scale decarbonisation. We recognise that the decarbonisation of heating and the built environment is one of the last known and “solution clear” areas - this is where we are focussed and where we will be deploying our investment and our resources.

We are an innovative, design and proactive intelligence led company, looking to attract people who think around a problem and past an issue. We want to be at the front end of commercial and technical innovation and are looking for team members to come on that journey.

Some of our current projects include:

- The design, installation, operation and funding of district heating system to serve 3500 homes in Clapham as part of a major regeneration project.
- The design and installation of a heat network in a rural community in Cambridgeshire to replace off-grid oil boiler heating in 300 homes with centralised low carbon heat generation.
- The design and installation of a ground source heat pump system to provide heating and cooling to a new development of 300 homes a gym and office building in South London.
- The design, installation and operation of a new city centre wide low carbon district heating system for the City of Cardiff
- Developing detailed long-term decarbonisation plans for existing large scale district heating networks to allow them to transition from gas fired CHP led generation to low carbon generation.

Hemiko is absolutely committed to an honest and collaborative approach to all our work, to being innovative in everything we do, always looking for better ways to do things and on avoiding the business curses of unnecessary complexity and silos.

We are a young, friendly business in the very rapidly growing low carbon energy sector, which provides significant opportunities for career flexibility and development.

**Our Values**

We appreciate that no one’s circumstances are the same and having the flexibility in working environments work is essential to our wellbeing. If this is significant to you let us know when you apply, and we will discuss how this could work in your role.

To help meet the business growth we are seeking an experienced senior level design engineer to lead our Design Team as Head of Design, reporting to the Director of Engineering. The Head of Design would be required to manage staff currently working remotely from and at the location of the Design Office that is based in Sheffield.

You will have a strong interest in the field of Energy Engineering Systems for domestic, commercial and industrial buildings. You will have a keen eye for detail and be technically proficient.

We will want you to join our journey toward a more environmentally and technically responsible and effective way of designing energy systems; moving away from conventional processes into a more innovative and free-thinking design environment.
