About the Role
As a Technical Manager, you’ll be the technical authority for Renewable energy installations across your region. You’ll work closely with our subcontractor network and the office-based project management team to make sure every job is done safely, compliantly, and to a standard you’d be proud of.
Day to day, that means:
- Owning installation quality across your region — conducting remote reviews and on-site audits (both during and after installation) to maintain Sunsave’s standards
- Being the go-to technical voice — advising the wider Operations team on solar PV, battery storage, and EV charger installation best practice
- Onboarding new subcontractors — assessing capability, setting expectations, and helping new teams get up to speed as the network grows
- Problem-solving on live jobs — supporting installers and project managers when things don’t go to plan, and making sure customers aren’t left waiting
- Championing compliance — staying on top of building regulations, MCS standards, and Part P requirements, and making sure the business does too
- Travelling to site when needed — this isn’t a desk job, but it’s not full-time on the tools either. Expect a mix of site visits, remote work, and occasional trips to Sunsave’s London HQ for team events and planning

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.
Where this can lead
This is a management role with real scope to grow.
