Job Description

Solar Technical Lead
Location: Kent (Hybrid - Office/Site/Home)
Salary: £40,000-£50,000 DOE
Contract Type: Permanent, Full-time

Are you an experienced solar PV designer looking for more autonomy, variety, and the chance to lead from the front?

We're working with a long-established renewable energy company that delivers high-quality solar installations across the South East. As they continue to grow, they're looking for a Solar Technical Lead - someone who knows solar PV inside out and wants a role where their input genuinely shapes project outcomes.

Why This Role Could Be Right for You:

• Autonomy & Ownership - You'll take the lead on designs, own your projects from start to finish, and be trusted for your technical judgement.
• Variety in the Day-to-Day - No two projects are the same. You'll work across domestic and light commercial installs, including battery and EV systems, with a balance of office-based design and occasional site visits.
• Genuine Impact - Your work helps homeowners and businesses reduce carbon emissions and cut energy bills. It's a role with technical depth and real-world purpose.
• Supportive Environment - Join a close-knit, experienced team that values quality over volume. Your ideas and input will be respected and encouraged.
• Hybrid Working - Flexibility to work from home part of the week, with office and site time as needed. Tools, training, and clear progression routes are provided.
  
  

What You'll Be Doing:

• Designing solar PV systems (inc. battery storage and EV) using tools like PV*SOL and AutoCAD.
• Carrying out desktop and on-site surveys to inform accurate, efficient system designs.
• Liaising with sales, operations and installation teams to ensure smooth project delivery.
• Producing layout drawings, schematics, and compliance documentation (MCS, DNO/G98/G99).
• Staying up to date on technical standards and renewable tech innovations.
  
  

What We're Looking For:

• Solid experience in designing solar PV systems (domestic and/or commercial).
• Confident with relevant design software (e.g. PV*SOL, SketchUp, AutoCAD).
• Working knowledge of UK grid connection processes and MCS standards.
• Excellent attention to detail and pride in delivering well-thought-out designs.
• Electrical background or on-site experience is beneficial but not essential.
• A full UK driving licence is required for site travel.

If you're looking for more responsibility, more flexibility, and more impact - this could be your next step.
