These new roles trigger the start of our ambitious growth plan over the next five years and there will be more roles to come.”
The environmental team at Ideal Heating will also be working on innovative air source heat pumps, which are designed to absorb heat from the outside air in order to heat homes and provide hot water.
David Kitney, managing director of Emmerson Kitney, says: “The opportunity to be a part of an industry-leading business during such an interesting and innovative time doesn’t come around often, and it’s brilliant that these types of roles are available right here in Hull.
“In the current climate, during which many businesses are making redundancies, it’s great news that we are again supporting Ideal Heating with filling a number of new engineering roles, with more set to be available in the near future.
“It’s important the Humber region continues to house highly skilled jobs such as these which helps retain and attract much-needed talent into the region.
