Complete testing, installation photos, STC paperwork and other required compliance documentation.

Carry out switchboard upgrades and EV charger installations.

Complete jobs right first time, leave every site clean, and walk customers through their system at handover.

Lead the weekly paid restock of the work vehicle and trailer (early Wednesday start).
