Help shape the future of Shetland’s district heating network
Shetland Heat Energy & Power Ltd (SHEAP) is seeking new Non-Executive Directors to join its Board at an important stage in the company’s development.
Owned by Shetland Charitable Trust, SHEAP operates one of Scotland’s longest-established district heating networks, supplying affordable heat to around 1,300 homes, businesses and public services across Lerwick.

We would also welcome applications from people with experience in:
- Engineering, energy or utilities
- Investment and capital projects

Previous Board experience is not essential. We are looking for people who can think strategically, exercise sound judgement and bring independent thinking and constructive challenge to the Board.
Non-Executive Directors are expected to attend regular Board meetings and contribute to additional meetings and discussions as required. Appointments are for an initial three-year term and an attendance allowance is payable.
