Job description

Field Electrician – Renewables

East Anglia • Competitive Salary + Benefits • Field Based | Full Time

We're working with a well-established and fast-growing renewable energy installer to hire a Field Electrician at an exciting stage of their expansion. This is a hands‑on installation role for a qualified electrician who wants steady, high-quality work installing heat pumps and solar systems into homes across the region.

You’ll be working on confirmed installations booked in by the office team, fitting renewable technologies to a consistently high standard and giving customers confidence in both the workmanship and the aftercare. The business has a strong local reputation built on the quality of its installations, and takes a longer‑term view of its customer relationships rather than moving on once a job is done.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Installing heat pumps, solar PV, and associated electrical systems in customers’ homes across the region
• Carrying out first and second‑fix electrical work to a high standard, in line with current regulations
• Testing, commissioning, and handing over completed installations, talking customers through their new system
• Working from surveys and specifications prepared by the technical team, flagging any issues on site
• Maintaining a clean, safe, and organised work area at every property
• Building good relationships with homeowners, representing the business professionally at all times
• Completing accurate job sheets, certification, and paperwork for every installation
• Working closely with the office, survey, and technical teams to ensure a smooth customer journey

What We’re Looking For

• City & Guilds L3 qualified electrician (or equivalent recognised qualification)
• Proven experience installing renewable technologies – heat pumps and/or solar PV – into domestic properties
• Based in the region, ideally centrally located for ease of travel to jobs
• Full, clean driving licence and access to your own vehicle
• A conscientious, quality‑focused approach to your work
• Comfortable working independently and managing your own day
• A professional manner with customers, taking pride in the finished job as well as the technical work
• Looking to build a long‑term career with a growing business in a sector with real momentum
