Heat Pump Installation & Commissioning Technician
Bring innovative heat pump technology to life! Join BlueHeart Energy to install, commission, and troubleshoot cutting-edge systems, combining hands-on lab work with customer projects across Europe.
Job description
About BlueHeart Energy
BlueHeart Energy was founded in 2016 as a deep-tech company that has developed a new sustainable thermoacoustics technology to radically improve the performance of heat pumps, enabling them to evolve from being the best solution in the market to becoming the perfect solution.
Our technology is a disruptive approach to generate heat and cold, with potential to revolutionize the whole industry.
With our so called 'Blue Heart' inside, heat pumps turn into affordable, silent and flexible devices, capable of working with wide temperature ranges suitable for both new and existing houses. Importantly, BlueHeart doesn’t require any refrigerants and doesn’t generate any CO2e emissions.
About The Role
Join BlueHeart Energy as a Heat Pump Installation & Commissioning Technician and help bring our technology from the laboratory to real customer installations across Europe.
This is a broad, hybrid, and highly hands-on role. You will work on complete BlueHeart heat pump systems, including the engine, controls, HP controls, sensors, pumps, valves, piping, electrical interfaces, and associated equipment. Your responsibilities will cover the full installation and commissioning cycle, from technical preparation and component ordering to on-site installation, troubleshooting, start-up, and customer handover.
This is not a 100% field-based position. Travel depends on the customer project portfolio. Customer-site deployments currently represent approximately 20% of the position, but this proportion may grow as BlueHeart expands and delivers more systems to customers. The main current projects are located in countries such as Italy, Germany, Spain, and other European locations. When you are not deployed to a customer site, you will work from our Heemskerk facility labs, preparing components and equipment for upcoming projects, supporting testing installations and technical activities in the BlueHeart labs, and improving commissioning and troubleshooting procedures.
In a scale-up environment, priorities can evolve quickly, so we are looking for someone practical, organized, adaptable, and comfortable taking ownership across different technical activities.
What You'll Do
Install and commission BlueHeart heat pump systems at customer sites (20% of the role at present)
Act as the primary BlueHeart representative on customer sites, building strong relationships and ensuring a professional customer experience
Support test bench assembly, commissioning, and maintenance activities in the Blue Heart laboratories
Perform piping, instrumentation, and mechanical integration activities
Support the setup and configuration of sensors, controllers, valves, pumps, and electrical components
Execute functional tests and performance validation of installed units
Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, controls, and system-level issues
Diagnose failures and coordinate corrective actions with internal teams and external partners
Realization of P&IDs, installation drawings, and technical documentation
Contribute to continuous improvement of installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting procedures
Ensure all activities are performed safely and according to company standards
What We’re Looking For
MBO/HBO degree in HVAC, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
At least 3–5 years of hands-on experience in installing, commissioning, servicing, or troubleshooting with heat pump systems, HVAC installations, refrigeration systems, or industrial equipment
Strong understanding of piping systems, valves, pumps, sensors, and instrumentation
Ability to read and create P&IDs, mechanical drawings, and technical documentation
Experience with commissioning and troubleshooting technical installations
Strong ownership and problem-solving skills
Comfortable working independently on customer sites
Good communication skills and ability to coordinate with multiple stakeholders
Holder of a driver's license
Willingness to travel regularly across Europe
Good English skills (spoken and written)
Nice to Have
Experience with industrial or residential heat pumps, HVAC commissioning, hydronic systems, or renewable-energy installations
Experience with electrical installations, control panels
Experience working in a startup or fast-paced engineering environment
What We Offer
Salary range between €3.600 - €4.500 gross per month (depending on experience)
Opportunity to participate in the ESOP scheme, directly linked to company value creation and individual performance
25 vacation days
Training opportunities to support in your personal and professional development with access to extensive training opportunities at your request
Access to OpenUp, because we prioritize mental well-being
Participation in our pension scheme with employer contribution
Commuting allowance, in line with our travel policy
A strategic role in a purpose-driven scale-up, contributing to a greener world and shaping the future of sustainable thermal technology

Interview tips
Get to know Blue Heart Energy
Before your interview, take some time to explore our career page, learn about our technology and products, and read our company values. You don’t need to become an expert: we’re interested in what caught your attention, why you’re considering BlueHeart Energy, and what you’re curious to learn more about.
Come prepared to talk about your experience
Our first conversation is usually focused on getting to know you: your career journey, motivation, experience, and what you’re looking for next. As you progress, interviews become more focused on the role and may include technical, functional, or leadership-related questions. Think about relevant examples from your experience that help us understand not only what you did, but how you approached it and what you learned.
Use clear, concrete examples
We often use the STARR method: Situation, Task, Action, Result and Reflection, to explore your experience. Before your interview, think of a few examples that demonstrate skills relevant to the role. Be specific about your own contribution, decisions and results. Communication is also part of what we assess, particularly for roles involving collaboration or leadership, so aim to keep your answers clear and structured.
Be curious and be yourself
An interview is a two-way conversation. Come with questions about the role, team, technology, challenges or anything else you genuinely want to understand. Our process may include both online interviews via Microsoft Teams and an onsite interview, giving you the opportunity to meet people you could be working with and experience BlueHeart Energy firsthand. Prepare well, but don’t rehearse a version of yourself, we want to meet you.
