• 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.

Applicants should be fully qualified electricians with practical renewable installation experience.

Ideally, you will have:

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
