Analyzing this data will provide valuable insights for continuous improvement and strategic decision-making. You will also ensure compliance with all relevant regulations, safety standards, and company policies, maintaining the integrity and reputation of Octopus Energy.
- • This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a rapidly growing company that is making a tangible difference in the fight against climate change. You will be empowered to take ownership, drive innovation, and shape the future of sustainable energy solutions.

- • Your responsibilities will encompass the strategic planning and execution of heat pump installation schedules, ensuring optimal utilization of our technical workforce and resources. You will oversee the entire disposition process, from initial customer contact and scheduling to the final handover of the installed system, ensuring a positive customer experience at every touchpoint.

This includes managing unforeseen circumstances, such as technical issues or personnel availability, with agility and effective contingency planning.
