Fed up of being on the tools all day? This role uses the same technical knowledge from a desk. You'll own design sign-off, install quality, DNO applications and handover packs across our installations, with a small team under you.
This is a senior role and we're looking for someone who wants to grow with the business. For the right person there is a clear route to a directorship and an equity stake as we scale.
About Us
GEKO Energy is a new MCS-certified solar installer, but we're not starting from scratch. We're built on years of success in solar lead generation and sales, and that gives us a pipeline and a commercial engine most new installers don't have. The ambition is to be a top five UK installer within five years.
The Role
Design and pre-installation
- Review technical surveys for completeness and accuracy, and go back to surveyors where something doesn't stack up
- Sign off system designs before anything is committed, covering panel layout, string design, inverter and battery selection, cable routes, isolation and earthing
- Produce and check single line diagrams and system schematics
- Flag structural, access or scaffolding issues early, before they become site problems
DNO applications
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Submit and manage G98 and G99 applications from start to finish
- Track application status, chase DNOs, and handle conditions or refusals
- Make sure export limitation and connection constraints are reflected in the design
Procurement and logistics
- Map out each install and produce the full parts list
- Raise equipment orders with suppliers
- Coordinate deliveries so kit lands on site at the right time, in the right condition, with the paperwork to match
Install delivery
- Book installations with subcontract teams and maintain the install schedule
- Manage subcontractors day to day, briefing them, answering technical queries and holding them to our workmanship and equipment standards
- Handle variations and on-site issues as they come up
- Visit site around once or twice a month for inspections and spot checks
Quality and handover
- Check handover packs before they go to the customer and before MCS submission, including test certification, commissioning records, performance estimates and warranties
- Maintain MCS compliance across the installation process and support scheme audits
- Log and close out nonconformities
Team
- Lead a small team supporting DNO applications, procurement and documentation
- Set the standard for how technical work is checked and recorded
