Job Description  

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who already has experience installing Solar PV and battery systems and is passionate about tackling the climate emergency to join an expanding renewable energy installation firm with a strong environmental and social purpose. This position is being created due to increasing demand for our services designing and delivering renewable energy solutions for householders and commercial clients.  

 

Unlike many solar companies, we do not operate a high-volume “fit as many systems as possible” model. Our focus is on carefully designed installations, high-quality workmanship and long-term system performance. 

 

You will work alongside an experienced team delivering projects that genuinely help customers reduce their carbon emissions and energy bills. 

 

You will take a hands-on role leading installations on site, working alongside the team on the roof, carrying out the electrical installation and commissioning & testing of Solar PV & battery storage systems on domestic & commercial projects. 

​

You will be responsible for the electrical installation, commissioning and testing of Solar PV and battery storage systems, working on domestic and commercial projects. 

 

Where required, you will support fault finding, maintenance and optimisation of existing systems, ensuring installations operate safely and efficiently and meet regulatory standards. 

 

The role will also include the electrical aspects of heat pump power supplies. 

 

You will be completing installations and the necessary certification to ensure compliance for our customers, mainly in West London, Surrey, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Hampshire. 

 

You will report to a senior member of the company and will receive training and support to deliver your role.  

 

The role will occasionally operate from the company’s office in Bracknell, Berkshire and there may be some opportunity to work from home on desk-based work. 

​

This role involves working on customer sites across the South East, typically as part of a small installation team. 

We value the diversity of our community and aim to have a workforce that reflects the diversity of the places we work in. We therefore encourage applications from all sections of the community and particularly women. 

​

• Have a valid driving license and be able to travel to sites across West London and the surrounding counties (typically within approximately one hour of Bracknell) 

• NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Installing Electrotechnical Systems and Equipment 

• 18th Edition 

• Inspection and Testing qualification (e.g. City & Guilds 2391) or demonstrable experience in testing and commissioning installations 

• At least two years’ post-apprenticeship experience in the electrical trade 

• Enjoy and be able to do practical, physical work at height, in an outdoor environment 

• Work independently and within a team

• A willingness to learn and be trained in new skills 

• Enthusiasm with a can-do attitude and a drive to succeed 

• A desire to do something practical about climate change and to support the gender diversity goals of the organisation. 

​

• Experience with installing solar PV and battery systems 

• Takes pride in a job done properly 

• Want to work for a company that puts its values first 

• Can take initiative and thrive in unfamiliar situations
