Field Technical Delivery Specialist (North)

NextGenEnergyJobs; Manchester; On-site; GBP 45,000 - 65,000; Full time

Job summary

NextGenEnergyJobs is seeking a Field Technical Delivery Specialist (North) to work on-site with installers across the UK. You’ll guide battery/inverter setups, read designs, and ensure equipment and procedures meet the blueprint before live operation.

You’ll collaborate with delivery teams to improve guides, provide hands-on coaching, and prioritise projects by readiness, travel regularly, and help standardise field practices to deliver quality installations.

Qualifications

• Proven experience supporting or delivering domestic solar PV and battery.
• Practical experience with battery commissioning, inverter setup, export settings and monitoring platforms.
• Electrical background with BS 7671 / 18th Edition knowledge or competence.
• Ability to read approved designs, schematics, Bills of Materials and platform-specific installation guidance.
• Willingness to travel regularly across the UK, including overnight stays when required.

Responsibilities

• Get stuck in on-site: You’ll work side-by-side with installers during their first setups, live installs, and any troubleshooting runs.
• Bridge the gap: You'll collaborate with the OE Homes Delivery team to make sure our guides are actually useful on a busy site.
• Set teams up for success: Before a single tool is lifted, you'll help make sure the installers truly understand the technical requirements, approved kit lists, and platform guides so there are no surprises midway through.
• Spot what works (and what doesn't): You'll keep an eye out for what makes an install breeze through, as well as the hiccups that cause delays, missing data, or "installed-but-not-yet-live" limbo.
• Be the feedback loop: Keep track of common installer questions, repeating issues, or confusing instructions. You’ll feed this real-world feedback straight back to our design, training, and standards teams so we can keep improving.
• Pick the right battles: Use your on-site knowledge to help prioritize which properties or batches are genuinely ready to go, ensuring we focus on the projects most likely to transition smoothly to live operation.
• Empower our installers: Since they are independent contractors, your job is to coach them on our standards and design intent.

Job description

Field Technical Delivery Specialist (North)

Help us make a big green dent in the universe.

Key Responsibilities

• Get stuck in on-site: You’ll work side-by-side with installers during their first setups, live installs, and any troubleshooting runs. You'll help them master the Tenant Power design, meter setups, and what's needed for sign-off.
• Bridge the gap: You'll collaborate with the OE Homes Delivery team to make sure our guides are actually useful on a busy site. This means making sure instructions for kit setups, battery/inverter wiring, meter placement, and data monitoring are crystal clear.
• Set teams up for success: Before a single tool is lifted, you'll help make sure the installers truly understand the technical requirements, approved kit lists, and platform guides so there are no surprises midway through.
• Spot what works (and what doesn't): You'll keep an eye out for what makes an install breeze through, as well as the hiccups that cause delays, missing data, or "installed-but-not-yet-live" limbo. You'll use these insights to help us build a smoother, repeatable process.
• Be the feedback loop: Keep track of common installer questions, repeating issues, or confusing instructions. You’ll feed this real-world feedback straight back to our design, training, and standards teams so we can keep improving.
• Pick the right battles: Use your on-site knowledge to help prioritize which properties or batches are genuinely ready to go, ensuring we focus on the projects most likely to transition smoothly to live operation.
• Empower our installers: Since they are independent contractors, your job is to coach them on our standards and design intent. You'll help them confidently deliver high-quality work that matches our blueprint every time.
• Bring everyone together: You'll act as the connector between housing associations, installers, supply chain, data, and delivery teams, helping to smooth out any friction points in the journey from "installed" to "live."
