solar hot water installer.
solar panel installer
ground source heat pumps installer.
domestic loft insulation installer.
part L energy efficiency qualified.
unvented hot water specialist.
fully qualified plumber,pipefitter and gas engineer.

does anyone know of anyone i could contact specifically regarding this or does anyone on here work in renewable energy or plumbing that could give me a bit of advice?

thanks

Got to move this to the jobs wanted forum, but my husband works in renewable energy (wind energy). His company has offices in Canada including one in Okotoks - if you want to PM me with your resume then I'll pass it on to him.

And it's worth checking out the Canadian Wind Energy Association website if you haven't already, obviously the deal in wind energy but they have a jobs section which may be useful and may cover other sectors of renewables.

Plus Monster.ca is good too. Renewable energy is booming over there, hubby is fighting off the job offers at the mo! So you've chosen a good field to get in to.

Good luck.
