Job description

Field Service Technician — Solar PV & Wind

Location: Ireland (Multi-Site | Full-Time | Site-Based) Salary: €45,000 – €51,000 base Sector: Renewable Energy | Solar PV | Wind

Ireland's renewable energy sector is growing fast — and we're looking for a hands‑on Field Service Technician to grow with it.

This is a site-based O&M role covering solar PV and wind assets across Ireland. You'll be the person on the ground keeping renewable energy sites running at full capacity — diagnosing faults, carrying out maintenance, supporting commissioning, and making sure production never stays down longer than it has to.

If you're an electrically qualified technician with at least a year of solar or wind site experience, comfortable behind the wheel on rural roads and working independently across multiple sites, this is a strong opportunity to build a long-term career in one of Ireland's fastest growing sectors.

What the role involves,

Fast on‑site and remote fault diagnosis and troubleshooting — getting production back up quickly

Planned and reactive maintenance across solar PV and wind sites

Supporting commissioning and start‑up activities on new sites

On‑site technical assessments and inspections

SCADA monitoring and remote control system operation

Technical report writing to support performance and claims processes

Contributing to maintenance process improvement and reliability analysis

Sharing best practices across the operations team

What you’ll need,

Minimum 1 year hands‑on experience on a solar PV or wind energy site — this is essential

Trade qualification or degree in Electrical, Electronics, or Automation Engineering

Full clean Irish or EU driving licence — essential, you'll cover sites across Ireland

Experience with fault detection, troubleshooting, and repair of electrical/automation equipment

Familiarity with SCADA or remote monitoring systems (desirable)

Valid Safe Pass

Comfortable working outdoors on active sites in all conditions

Strong written English for technical reporting

What's on offer

€45,000–€51,000 base salary depending on experience

Annual performance bonus — 6% target for O&M Technicians, paid in April

22 days annual leave plus Good Friday and Christmas Eve, rising to 24 days after 3 years’ service

Private medical insurance — Irish Life Health Horizon Plan covering employee, partner and all dependent children, plus Employee Assistance Programme

Company pension — 3% employee / 3% employer contributions, increasing to 5% / 5% from January 2027

Life assurance at 4x annual basic salary

Overtime at 1.5x for weekdays and Saturdays; double time for Sundays and public holidays

Rotational on‑call allowance in operation

Shared company vehicle provided

Expenses reimbursed in line with company policy

TaxSaver Commuter Scheme and Bike to Work Scheme access

Company laptop and mobile phone where required

Funded learning and development opportunities post-probation

Who we’re looking for,

You don’t need to have done every part of this role before — but you do need to have been on site, worked with your hands, and know what it means to keep a live energy asset running. The right person is someone who takes ownership, doesn’t wait to be told, and is comfortable driving to a remote Galway or Kerry site at short notice to sort a problem out.

If that sounds like you, get in touch.
