• Completing associated electrical installation works
• Testing, inspection and certification
• Fault finding and remedial work where required
• Ensuring installations meet current electrical regulations
• Working safely and professionally within customer properties
• Coordinating with wider installation and technical teams
• Supporting other renewable technologies where required

Experience with air‑source heat pumps would be advantageous but is not essential.

The role offers:

• Predominantly North West‑based work
• Exposure to Solar PV, battery storage and EV charging
• Long‑term opportunity within the renewable energy sector
• Variety across installation, commissioning and fault finding
• Reduced nationwide travel compared with many renewable installation roles
• Opportunity to work within a specialist rather than a general electrical contractor
