Senior Mission Manager, sustainable future mission
Oliver Zanetti is a senior mission manager in Nesta’s sustainable future mission, leading our work on the skills and capacity of the heat pump sector.
The availability of the installer base to get heat pumps into homes risks becoming a major bottleneck in the UK’s transition away from gas and towards clean, efficient, electrified heating. We need to see the number of highly skilled heating engineers working with heat pumps growing now, and improved pathways for new junior entrants to the sector.
Oliver leads the skills and capacity area of focus, setting its direction and overseeing a range of research and innovation projects that advance these goals.
Oliver joined Nesta in 2020. Prior to this he gained his PhD in human geography at the Open University, which was followed by five years of postdoctoral research and teaching experience at Oxford University, The Open University, and Queen Mary, University of London.
