Your mission
Join the Team Powering the UK’s Clean Heat Revolution
Heat Geek is the most trusted voice in home heating and we’ve earned that title by being part of the industry. We don’t talk at heating engineers, we speak as them. Through our hugely successful YouTube channel, we’ve educated millions, sparked change across the sector and built a rocketship of a business in the process.
Now, we’re building our in-house video team to take things to the next level.
We’re a fast-growing startup with serious traction. Our YouTube-first content engine has driven explosive growth but we’ve been doing it all through outsourced production. It’s time to change that. We want full control over our creative output, our brand and our story. This team will be the voice, tone and visual style of Heat Geek across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, our website and beyond.
If you’re excited by meaningful storytelling, clean energy and building something genuinely game-changing – this is your chance to get in early and shape the next chapter.
