Solar PV Design Engineer (Junior & Experienced)

Location: Office-based (occasional site travel)

Job Type: Full-time

I'm working with a growing renewable energy company that's expanding its design team and looking to hire two Solar PV Design Engineers – one experienced and one junior. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business that’s at the forefront of commercial solar projects in the UK.

Whether you're early in your career and looking for mentorship, or you're already confident delivering full design packages, there’s room for the right people to grow and make a real impact.

About the Role:

You'll be part of a forward-thinking design team working on a range of commercial solar PV systems. The role includes producing system architecture diagrams, preparing technical documentation, and collaborating with teams across electrical, mechanical, and operations.

Depending on your experience, you'll either support or lead the design process - all while gaining exposure to cutting-edge tech and real-world projects.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop system and single-line diagrams (SLDs)
• Produce design reports and technical documentation
• Liaise with internal teams to ensure compliance with DNO and regulatory standards
• Use design platforms including SolarEdge, AutoCAD, and MS Office
• Support system commissioning and digital setup
• Contribute to ongoing process improvements and innovation

What They’re Looking For:

For Experienced Engineers:

• Solid background in commercial solar PV design
• Comfortable leading on projects from design to delivery
• Strong communication and technical reporting skills
• Familiar with design tools and UK electrical standards

For Junior Engineers:

• A relevant qualification or some exposure to renewable energy or engineering
• Eager to learn, with a collaborative mindset
• Organised, curious, and willing to get stuck in
• Some familiarity with design tools like AutoCAD is a bonus, but not essential

If you're passionate about renewable energy and want to play a role in meaningful, technical projects, I’d love to hear from you. Drop me a message or apply directly to find out more.
