Finished college and wondering what comes next? Looking for your first job? If you're organised, good with computers and looking for an opportunity where you can learn, develop and build a genuine career, this could be a great next step. We're looking for a Renewables Compliance Administrator to join our growing Renewables team. You don't need years of experience or previous knowledge of the industry. What's more important to us is that you're bright, reliable, organised and keen to learn. You'll receive hands-on experience within the renewable construction and solar PV industry, learning how projects progress from the office through to installation and completion. As your knowledge and confidence grow, so will your responsibilities, making this an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to start building a long-term career in renewables.

What will you be doing?

• Helping to check and organise renewable energy compliance documents

• Monitoring the progress of live jobs and highlighting any issues
• Supporting the wider Renewables team with day-to-day project coordination
• Learning renewable energy compliance processes and gradually taking on more responsibility

Why this is a great first career move

This isn't a role where we expect you to know everything on day one. It's an opportunity to learn the renewable construction industry from the inside, develop valuable commercial and technical knowledge and gain experience working alongside both office-based and site teams. For the right person, there is great potential for career progression as your experience develops.

You’ll develop skills in areas such as:

• Renewable energy
• Solar PV
• Project coordination
• Compliance
• Construction
• DNO processes
• Commercial administration
• Project documentation

These are skills that can provide a strong foundation for a long-term career within the renewables and construction industry.

Who are we looking for?

You may be a recent college or sixth-form leaver, or perhaps you've had your first job and are now looking for an opportunity with better long-term career prospects. You don't need previous renewable energy experience.

We'd love to hear from you if you:

• Have a full UK Driving license
• Have at least 5 GCSEs, including English and Maths at grade 4 or above
• Have good attention to detail
• Are naturally organised and can manage your time well
• Are comfortable using computers, spreadsheets and documents
• Communicate confidently and professionally
• Can prioritise your workload and meet deadlines
• Are reliable and take pride in doing a job properly
• Have a positive attitude and aren't afraid to ask questions
• Are proactive and willing to get involved
• Enjoy being part of a team
• Are genuinely interested in developing a career in renewable energy, solar PV or construction

Previous work experience is helpful, but that could come from a part-time job, work placement, apprenticeship or volunteering. We're much more interested in your attitude, reliability and willingness to learn.
