About PCL Net Zero
At PCL Net Zero, we're helping homes and businesses across the Lake District and Cumbria move towards a cleaner, more sustainable future. We specialise in the design, installation, and maintenance of air-source heat pumps, solar PV systems, battery storage, EV charging infrastructure, and efficient heating systems. Our mission is to make the journey to net zero straightforward, practical, and reliable.
Our team combines deep technical expertise with a personal, customer-focused approach. We take pride in doing things properly - from high-quality installations and long-term servicing, to our strong ties with manufacturers, universities, and research facilities.
The Role
We're looking for an experienced Electrician to take on the position of technical lead within our electrical team. You will act as our Technical Supervisor for solar PV and battery storage installations, taking day-to-day responsibility for the technical quality and compliance of our renewable electrical work.
Beyond hands-on and supervisory electrical work, you'll conduct engineering surveys for solar PV, battery storage, EV charging, and general electrical projects, working closely with our design and project delivery teams to scope jobs accurately from first contact through to commissioning.
This is a genuine step up for someone ready to combine strong technical electrical skills with team leadership and customer-facing responsibility in a rapidly scaling low-carbon energy business.
Whether you're an experienced Qualified Electrician, an Advanced Domestic Electrician looking to take the next step, or someone with strong Solar PV experience, we'd love to hear from you.
