• ASHP electrical works: Provide electrical supplies, isolation, protection, wiring and associated work for air source heat pump installations, coordinating with Heating Engineers.
• Site surveys: Survey solar PV, battery, EV charger and electrical works, recording installation details, cable routes, equipment locations, access needs and constraints.
• Project delivery: Complete installations safely and efficiently, communicating progress and raising issues early.
• Customer care: Represent the company professionally in homes, social housing, commercial premises and construction environments.

Essential Qualifications and Experience:

• Recognised Level 3 electrical installation qualification or apprenticeship / equivalent suitable for domestic electrical work.

Beneficial Experience:

• Commercial electrical installation and three-phase experience.
• Wiring air source heat pumps or working alongside Heating Engineers.

How We Work

We’re looking for someone motivated, reliable and positive, with a strong work ethic and pride in their work. You must work independently while supporting the wider team.

We’re collaborative and solutions-focused, valuing clear communication, constructive problem-solving and high professional standards. A consistently negative or disruptive approach is not compatible with how we work.

Support and Training:

• You’ll receive full back-office support, including job scheduling, job information, customer communication and administration, allowing you to focus on safe, high-quality site work.
• Administrative and scheduling support.
• Regular manufacturer training on solar inverters, batteries, EV charge points and other technologies we install.
• Ongoing training as regulations, products and manufacturer requirements change.
• Support to broaden formal qualifications and technical capability for the right candidate.

The Opportunity To Grow With Us

Help develop the electrical / renewables department as we grow, becoming a trusted technical team member and improving how we deliver our work.

Initially, the focus is on surveys, installations, testing, commissioning, fault-finding and customer handover. As workload and the team expand, the role is intended to develop into supervision, with increasing responsibility for running contracts and projects, maintaining installation and compliance standards, coordinating teams and Subcontractors, carrying out surveys, supporting pricing and design, and developing departmental procedures.

Progression depends on capability, attitude and performance, offering the right person a genuine chance to shape the role.
