About Phoenix Decarbonisation

Phoenix Decarbonisation delivers Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP), Solar PV, Battery Storage, and energy efficiency retrofits across domestic and social housing properties throughout the UK. As our renewables division continues to expand, we are seeking a highly competent and technically experienced Lead Designer to take ownership of our design standards, drive technical accuracy, and oversee the successful delivery of renewable energy projects.

Role Overview

This is a senior, influential role within the technical team. You will lead the technical design process for ASHP and Solar PV projects, reviewing technical designs, ensuring site survey quality, and managing workflows so that all project deliverables are completed on time. You will bridge the gap between initial site surveys and final installations, ensuring all designs are optimized for performance, fully compliant with MCS and PAS 2035 standards, and "first-time ready" for installation teams.

Key Responsibilities

  • Technical Design Review & Sign-Off: Review, verify, and approve technical designs for ASHP and Solar PV systems, including heat loss calculations, radiator/emitter sizing, and array layouts to ensure first-time technical accuracy.
  • Survey Quality Assurance: Oversee and validate survey quality, reviewing technical survey data and assessments to eliminate design-related site queries or missed information.
  • Workflow & Timeline Management: Manage design pipeline schedules and SLAs to ensure all design packs and documentation are completed on time, preventing site delays.
  • Compliance & Industry Standards: Ensure strict adherence to MCS compliance, PAS 2030/PAS 2035 frameworks, and relevant UK Building Regulations across all documentation.
  • Technical Mentorship & Support: Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior designers, surveyors, and coordinators, fostering high design standards across the team.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Surveyors, Installation Teams, and Compliance Managers to resolve technical design queries and continuously streamline site operations.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

  • Design Accuracy: Maintain a "first-time right" accuracy rate for heat loss calculations and system specifications.
  • Timeline & SLA Adherence: Deliver design reviews and design packs within agreed SLA turnaround times to keep installation schedules on track.
  • Compliance: Maintain a 100% compliance record across MCS and PAS 2035 technical documentation.
  • Installation Readiness: Reduce site delays attributable to design or survey errors to below 2%.

Skills & Experience Required

  • Proven Design Expertise: Demonstrable experience in designing and supporting ASHP and Solar PV installations, ideally in a lead or senior capacity.
  • Technical Sizing & Calculations: Expert knowledge of heat loss calculation principles, radiator/emitter sizing, and Solar PV array design.
  • Survey Quality Control: Practical knowledge of on-site survey procedures and quality assurance checks.
  • Regulatory Knowledge: In-depth understanding of MCS compliance, PAS 2035/PAS 2030 frameworks, and Building Regulations.
  • Software Proficiency: Competence in industry-standard software (e.g., Heat Engineer, MCS Design Hub, Easy PV, or similar).
  • Project & Time Management: Strong organizational skills with a track record of meeting strict project deadlines.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary (£42,000 – £47,000 per annum, DOE).
  • Company pension scheme, healthcare, 33 days annual leave, additional benefits
  • Professional development and technical training opportunities.
  • Clear pathways for career progression within an expanding renewables division.
  • Supportive, forward-thinking team environment based in Stoke-on-Trent.

Pay: £42,000.00-£47,000.00 per year

Benefits:

  • Company pension
  • Employee discount
  • Free parking
  • Private medical insurance
  • Store discount

Work Location: In person
