- Ensuring all installations comply with current regulations, standards and manufacturer requirements
- Working alongside our existing insulation and retrofit teams
- Supporting surveys, system design and quotations where required
- Liaising with clients, suppliers and other contractors
- Helping to develop our renewable-energy installation processes and capabilities

- A professional approach and good communication skills
- The ability to work independently and take ownership of projects
- A full UK driving licence
We are particularly interested in someone who is ambitious and commercially minded and sees this as an opportunity to help build something, rather than simply another installation job.
What We Offer
- £45,000–£50,000 salary, depending on experience and qualifications
- Company vehicle
- Performance-related bonus
- Opportunity to help develop and lead a growing renewable-energy division
- Excellent existing client base and established reputation
- Variety of projects across the residential and construction sectors

We already have an established insulation and retrofit operation, strong relationships with major clients and an excellent reputation in our market. We now want to build on that platform by developing a complete home energy-efficiency and renewable-energy offering.
For the right person, there is genuine potential to become a key member of the management team and help shape and grow this division of the business.
If you are an experienced electrician with renewable-energy experience and are looking for an opportunity where you can make a real difference and help build a business within an established company, we would like to hear from you.
