About GeoEnergy Design (GED)

GED was formed in 2020 and has grown 25% consistently year on year. The two directors and Associate Director have over 85 years of combined experience in the thermal engineering and have worked together as the design team of Geothermal International Ltd, trading as GI Energy, the UK’s largest heat pump contractor for over 20 years prior to its sale in 2019.

Uniquely not only have we designed over 500MW of operational heat pumps, but we have overseen the installation, commissioning, optimisation, ongoing service, maintenance and fault finding, with all those hands-on learnings feeding back into our future designs.

GED operates at the intersection of renewable thermal energy, mechanical building services, and low-carbon heating and cooling systems. Our work is technically rigorous, design-led, and pragmatic, with engineers remaining hands-on throughout the project lifecycle.

As our portfolio continues to grow, we are now at a pivotal point in our growth where we need a senior figure to mentor, organise and grow our younger team of design engineers. We have predominantly recruited graduates with firsts and master’s degrees direct from Russell Group Universities and taught them about heat pumps from first principles.

Role Overview

We are now seeking a motivated and ambitious Graduate/Junior Mechanical Engineer to join our expanding team of specialist engineering consultants. As a Graduate/Junior Engineer, you will support our design engineers across a range of innovative and impactful projects. This role offers a balance of technical development, practical experience, and creative problem-solving.
