• Responsible for creating Installation briefs for our installer network detailing the requirements of the installation and identifying/raising any issues or unusual circumstances to our installers.
• Creating scaffolding briefs to ensure appropriate scaffolding is erected prior to installation.
• Create relevant applications to the Distribution Network Operator including relevant single line wiring diagrams pertaining to the specific install.
• Responsible for ensuring the appropriate kit is ordered on a per job basis.
• Providing excellent technical advice, you will respond to queries via phone and email.
• Ensure installations are completed successfully, customers are satisfied and any issues are resolved or escalated.
• Own and resolve queries from customers and 3rd parties.
• Ensure customers are communicated to and updated on all the key elements of their installation journey.
• Operate in a manner compliant with the end‑to‑end customer journey, associated processes and MCS requirements.

You’re a great match if:

• Designing and managing the installation of Solar PV, inverters and batteries in domestic customer properties.
• Taking survey data / photos and developing final solar designs for customers including schematics, string designs, ballast calculations and shading analysis.

• You’ll be customer‑obsessed and ensure you deliver a great customer experience every time.
• The ability to work under pressure whilst removing non‑essential obstacles which would prevent success.
• The ability to deal with ambiguity and solving problems on the fly.
