• ECS Gold Card is essential
• Ability to lead a small team
• Flexible to travel and work away
• Over 25 years old with no more than 6 points (for insurance purposes)

What’s on offer

• £40,000 – £48,000 basic salary (DOE) + Food Allowance paid Mondays (no receipts/claiming expenses back needed)
• 4 day work week during spring and summer months - 5 day work week in autumn winter
• Working for a company owned and managed by a leadership team who have worked on the tools within the solar industry and understand the common issues and pain-points of the industry from a tradesman/tradeswoman's point of view
• Exciting pipeline of solar work with some of the biggest primary contractors and EPC in the country
• Personal use of company vehicle (within reason)
• Food allowances paid into bank Monday morning - no messing about with receipts and claiming expenses back!
• Ongoing training and development within solar and renewables
• Clear progression as the business continues to grow
• Opportunity to work on large-scale commercial projects

If you’re an experienced electrician already working in solar, or looking to step into a more project-focused commercial environment, this is a strong opportunity to progress your career and work with a fast-growing EPC.
