Spark Energy UK - Roofer for Bristol Hub
£34,000 – £40,000 · employed, full-time · shared crew van
Spark Energy UK installs residential solar and battery systems across England and Wales. We are building our own regional installation teams – employed, not subcontracted – and we need a roofer to lead the roof side of the crew at our new Bristol hub, covering Bristol, Bath, Gloucestershire, Somerset and South Wales.
You will be one of a three-person crew: a lead electrician, you, and an installer's mate. The roof is yours: mounting systems, flashing, weatherproofing and making sure the array is fixed so it stays fixed. The mistakes in this trade come back as a leak eighteen months later, so we hire for care as much as speed.
What the Job Is
- Four domestic solar and battery installations a week with your crew, Monday to Friday, with Friday mostly kept for deliveries, kit preparation and any remedials
- Setting out and fixing roof anchors and rails on tile, slate and flat roofs; panel mounting; flashing and weatherproofing; bird protection where specified
- Working at height from scaffold and roof ladders, and keeping the site tidy from the customer's point of view
- Evidence photos on every job through our own app (SparkOS), so the work you do is the work that gets checked
- Occasional distance work when a job sits at the edge of the hub's patch – mileage and overnight allowance are written into your contract
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.
How We Hire – Fast
- A short call about availability, travel and what you installed last month
- A practical conversation with one of our installers
- A paid day on a live install with one of our existing crews, at full rate
- Two trade references from whoever signed off your work
- Then an offer with tools and PPE named in the letter. We aim to get from first call to decision inside a week.
- Start dates are set around the person, not the premises – we are hiring for this hub now.
