  • Supervise and induct contractors, suppliers, visitors and other site personnel.
  • Participate in site-based, classroom and occasional overseas training activities.
  • Travel to other sites and regions when required, including occasional overnight stays.

About You Essential:

  • BS7671 qualification (latest edition).
  • Strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.

  • Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly document and explain technical solutions.
  • Positive, collaborative and solution-focused attitude.
  • Comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions.
  • Full clean UK driving licence.

Desirable:

  • Authorised Person (AP) or Senior Authorised Person (SAP) status.
  • Inspection and Testing qualifications (C&G 2391 or 2394/2395), or working towards them.
  • Solar PV installation and maintenance experience, including systems over 50kWp and G59/G99 connections.
  • Solar PV qualifications such as C&G 2372 or C&G 2399.
  • Experience working with central inverters including SMA, Power Electronics, Gamesa, Ingeteam or Sungrow.
  • Experience with HV switchgear and high-voltage systems.
  • ECS, SSSTS and valid First Aid certification.
  • Previous experience within utility-scale solar or renewable energy environments.

What's in It for You?

  • Company car
  • Annual bonus scheme to recognise your contribution

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
