Solar Electrician – Overview

Low Carbon Recruitment Ltd are currently working with one of the largest Solar PV installation companies who are seeking a permanent Electrician to carry out Solar PV installations in the local area. The company have been established for over 20 years and have completed over 50,000 Solar PV Installs on Domestic Properties. As such their scheduling and organisation is second to none.

Within the role, you will work in a two man team alongside a Roofer/Panel Installer, installing Solar PV systems on private domestic properties within the local area. You will work as a team to complete installations, with the roofer installing and fixing the panels and running the cables through, which the electrician will then wire up and commission the system. Most systems range between 6-20 panels and some jobs will have a battery storage system in addition.

The company have been installing PV systems for over 15 years and have 50+ crews working nationwide. They aim to make each install as simple as possible for their Engineers. All sites are technically surveyed prior to the installation starting, all scaffolding and required infrastructure will be set up prior to the teams arrival, and all materials are delivered to site.

You will only ever have one install per day, once the install is complete, your day is finished. This means if you have a smaller system and complete it by 2pm, you can go home but will still be paid for a full day.
