Job Description

Renewables Electrician (119jc) - Remote - £20 – 22ph Self-Employed under CIS scheme

Are you a recently qualified Electrician? My client, a growing leader in utility-scale renewable energy installations, is looking for electricians to support major projects across the UK — offering hands-on, high-quality work with excellent pay and consistent hours.

Note: Due to the nature of this recruitment consultancy, we are only able to represent individuals who are ex-military.

What You’ll Do

1. Install electrical systems for renewable energy (solar, batteries, LV panels)
2. Carry out wiring, terminations, cable runs, and equipment installations
3. Assist in testing, fault finding, and commissioning
4. Work closely with supervisors and site teams to meet deadlines
5. Follow all safety procedures and maintain a clean, compliant worksite

What You’ll Need

• NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent)
• ECS Gold Card
• 18th Edition & Testing (BS2391 or 2392)
• 3+ years' experience (renewables or utility-scale projects a plus)
• Own transport (mileage reimbursed) & ability to work away during the week
• Experience using tools like iAuditor or digital reporting apps

Why Join Them?

• Weekly CIS payments
• Stable, long-term projects
• Opportunity to grow with a fast-moving renewables contractor
• Supportive, professional teams on-site

As my client operates across the UK, you must be prepared to stay away from home Monday – Friday. Ideally, you should live centrally in the UK, but all applications will be considered within reason.

They are offering up to £22 per hour self-employed under CIS scheme, with an average 50-hour week. All travel and accommodation expenses will be paid by the company. For the right individuals, ongoing personnel development and progression will be encouraged.
