Description
No day will be the same - here are some of the highlights
We’re seeking a Commercial Solar PV Electrician to join our unique, friendly and fast-growing Engineering team.

With the renewable energy field growing more than ever, we are excited to offer some wonderful career opportunities with great growth potential. The successful applicant will have a positive attitude, the ability to efficiently organise and coordinate their work, with minimal supervision and have great energy for client communication and team dynamics.
You’ll have a methodical approach to work, with sufficient commitment and drive to complete tasks to budget and within specified timescales. This role will see you working directly with customers so previous experience in this with the ability to present ideas and concepts to the customer is essential.
As a commercial Electrical Engineer, you’ll be working principally on Solar PV on our commercial sites, with a dedicated, elite team, doing all the electrical part of the installations, inspections and testing.
