Job description

Location: Uddingston and site based as required

At Emtec Energy, we’re delivering renewable energy solutions across Solar PV, Battery Energy Storage and grid connection projects, helping businesses move towards a more sustainable future.

As our project portfolio continues to grow, we’re looking for a Electrical Supervisor to join the team and provide technical, operational and site-based support across the full project lifecycle.

This is a varied, hands‑on role where you’ll support projects from early surveys and design development through construction, commissioning and long‑term operations and maintenance.

The Role

As Electrical Supervisor, you’ll work across our Pre-Construction, Delivery, Commissioning and O&M teams, helping to keep projects moving safely, efficiently and to a high standard.

You’ll be involved in site surveys, technical assessments, subcontractor supervision, inspections, testing, commissioning support, maintenance and fault‑finding activities across commercial and utility‑scale renewable energy assets.

The role is predominantly site‑based and would suit someone with a strong electrical background who enjoys variety, problem solving and being close to the delivery of projects on site.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Carrying out site surveys for Solar PV, BESS and grid connection projects
• Gathering technical site information to support feasibility, design and estimating activity
• Reviewing electrical infrastructure, site constraints, access requirements and CDM considerations
• Supporting project mobilisation, construction delivery and technical issue resolution on site
• Supervising subcontractors and specialist installers where required
• Carrying out quality inspections and reporting on defects, non-conformances and corrective actions
• Assisting with electrical testing and commissioning activities
• Supporting planned maintenance, fault‑finding and corrective works on operational renewable energy assets
• Producing survey, inspection, commissioning and maintenance reports
• Ensuring works are delivered safely and in line with RAMS, CDM, electrical safety standards and company procedures
• Liaising with clients, consultants, DNOs, ICPs, subcontractors and internal teams

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with a strong electrical background and experience within electrical installation, commissioning, construction, renewable energy or a similar site‑based engineering environment.

Experience within Solar PV, Battery Storage or grid connection projects would be a real advantage, but we’re also keen to hear from people with solid electrical knowledge who are interested in developing further within the renewable energy sector.

You’ll bring

• HNC, HND, NVQ Level 3 or equivalent in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
• A recognised electrical qualification including 18th Edition Wiring Regulations
• Inspection and Testing qualification, such as City & Guilds 2391 or equivalent
• Minimum 3 years’ experience in an electrical installation, commissioning, construction or renewable energy environment
• Full UK driving licence
• Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings and technical documentation
• Good understanding of safe systems of work and electrical safety practices
• Experience supervising subcontractors or coordinating site activities
• Strong communication skills and confidence working with clients, site teams and wider stakeholders

It would also be beneficial if you have experience with Solar PV or BESS projects, ECS Gold Card, SSSTS or SMSTS, First Aid at Work, CDM 2015, DNO/grid connection processes, SCADA, monitoring platforms or renewable energy commissioning.

Why Emtec Energy?

When you join Emtec Energy, you'll become part of a growing business with ambitious plans, a supportive culture and the opportunity to work on projects that are helping shape a more sustainable future.

What’s In It for You

• Attractive Salary: Based on skills and experience
