Are you a qualified electrician looking to step into, or further your career within, the booming commercial solar sector with a growing renewables business?

Do you want to join a company offering excellent flexibility, full training, and the chance to rapidly progress as their O&M division doubles in size over the next 12 months?

This established renewable energy specialist focuses heavily on commercial solar installations and operations & maintenance across the South West. Over their 15 years of operations they have built a standout reputation in the region. With O&M newly prioritised for major investment and expansion, they are now looking to add motivated electricians to their core field team.

In this role, you will operate directly from home to commercial solar sites across the South West, carrying out fault finding, planned preventative maintenance, and reactive repairs. This is an autonomous position that offers strong work-life balance and flexibility. While rare, any occasional stays away come with a 20% uplift on earnings.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a qualified electrician, whether you already have solar experience or are looking for full training to make the transition from domestic solar or general electrical maintenance, to build a long-term career in a high-growth division.

The Role

• Electrician working on Commercial Solar sites
• Fault finding, pre-planned maintenance, and reactive repair work
• Field-based position running directly from home to site with flexible working hours
• Paid travel time (kicks in after 1 hour each way) and a 20% uplift for rare stays away.

The Person

• Qualified Electrician
• Driven by long-term progression and team growth
• Solar experience or O&M background (desirable - full training into commercial solar provided for the right character)
