Net Zero – Do you want to be part of the solution?
If so, a career at SAV UK Ltd. could be for you.
We all know we need to get to net zero, but how do we achieve it? Heat networks are crucial to making net zero a reality in the UK. The Committee on Climate Change estimates that up to 18% of heat needs to come from heat networks by 2050 if the UK is to meet its zero-carbon ambition.
What is a Heat Network?
A heat network, sometimes called district heating, typically supplies heat to several homes within a building and is designed to offer low-cost and low-carbon heat through the integration of renewable technologies and the utilisation of waste heat sources. The system requires a plant room, which generates and pumps heated water throughout the building via a series of insulated pipes.
About SAV:
As experts in heat networks, SAV is at the forefront of helping the UK decarbonise its buildings through its range of low carbon heating, cooling, and ventilation solutions. At SAV, we work with global, market leading technology partners to offer a range of innovative and award-winning product solutions aimed at both reducing the carbon footprint and combatting fuel poverty.
As a forward-thinking, fast-growing company, SAV is looking for people who share our passion and vision who can help us grow and develop our business. Due to our continued growth and evolution, we are currently recruiting Graduate Low Carbon Applications Engineers for the September 2025 intake on to our Graduate Scheme.
SAV’s Graduate Scheme has been designed to build on the skills, knowledge and experience you will have gained at university. The programme is designed to last two years, during which time you will:
1. Enhance your technical expertise in areas such as heat networks, energy centres, energy metering and ventilation, via six monthly rotations through different departments within the business. This will also support the development of your commercial awareness and soft skills, such as communication, leadership, problem-solving and presentation skills.
2. Gain real-life, hands-on experience by working on a diverse range of projects, each with different technical considerations and challenges, and you will be empowered to take on significant decision-making responsibilities as you progress through the programme.
3. Have a dedicated mentor throughout, whose responsibility it is to provide you with guidance and support.
We firmly believe that supporting and encouraging collaboration facilitates knowledge sharing, as well as the development of your technical skills and capabilities. Aligning with one of our five core values, training takes a collaborative approach at SAV, with experienced engineers and graduates at different stages of the programme coming together to participate in training sessions. We believe that challenging our graduates helps them to grow, and we actively encourage you to engage with your mentors regarding any particular areas of interest you might have, as well as your career aspirations and how we can support you to achieve these.
If you want to join us on our mission to decarbonise the UK’s buildings, and you share our values of being Collaborative, Knowledgeable, Trustworthy, Challenging and Energetic, we would love to hear from you.
