Can you start as a installation technician without experience?
Starting fully without experience is harder here, because the role combines diagnostics with commissioning and repair. With a technical education in heating or sanitary techniques you can start as a junior and grow into it on the job. Employers train you on their own installations, and you take on callouts independently as your diagnostics become reliable.

With experience you can specialise or move into related technical roles such as electrical installer, installation fitter or burner technician. Some technicians grow towards cable installation or packaging machine operation, or take on a team lead role. Extra certificates and specialisation open the way to more responsibility.
