About the Company

About REFYT

REFYT is a PAS 2035 retrofit and green energy contractor. We deliver Warm Homes and social housing retrofit programmes across London, Essex and Kent, working directly for local authorities and housing providers and in partnership with Tier 1 contractors. Our work improves the energy efficiency of people's homes through insulation, ventilation, heating and renewable measures.

The business is growing quickly, with new contracts, frameworks and services coming on board. To support that growth we are bringing recruitment in house and are looking for an Internal Recruiter to lead it.
