Retrofit Talent provides specialist retrofit recruitment across Cardiff and the wider South Wales region, supporting organisations in Cardiff, Newport, the Vale of Glamorgan, Caerphilly, Bridgend and surrounding areas.
With a high concentration of older terraced and solid-wall homes and increasing investment in ECO4 and SHDF programmes, Cardiff requires skilled PAS 2035 professionals to deliver successful retrofit projects. We work with housing associations, social landlords, installers and contractors delivering ECO4, SHDF and GBIS-funded schemes.
Whether you need Retrofit Coordinators, Assessors, Designers, Domestic Energy Assessors, Project Managers or installation teams, we supply experienced and fully vetted professionals who understand the challenges of Cardiff's varied housing stock. For job seekers, Cardiff offers strong opportunities across assessment, design, coordination, surveying and installation.
