Solar Electrician

Solar Electrician – Overview

We are currently working with an established Renewable Energy company based in South Wales who are looking for experienced Solar Electricians to join the team. The company operate within a 90 minute radius of Cwmbran, installing and maintaining Heat Pumps, Solar PV, Battery Storage, Storage Heaters, Smart Controls, Insulation and much more.

Predominantly this role will be installing 1-2 Solar PV & Battery Storage Systems per day. The grant funded scheme work is typically Solar only and tends to be smaller jobs. They often complete multiple properties in the same geographical area. If you have multiple properties in the same location, this is when you’d have to chance to complete 2 in one day but only if it makes sense. If there is significant travel between sites, you would only be expected to complete 1 that day. There are sometimes additional ‘add-ons’ with the scheme work such as storage heaters or a battery, if this is the case, you would be on that job only for the day.

On the private domestic side, the systems can be slightly larger and may have a battery as well, in this case it would be your only job for the day also. You will pick up all materials in the morning in Cwmbran before travelling to site. They are looking into changing this so that materials are delivered to site ahead of time. All scaffolding will be up in place for when you arrive meaning you can start straight away without having to wait for the scaffolders to arrive.

They can offer you training on a range of systems as well as opportunities for development and progression. The company pride themselves on their ability to promote from within and help employees to further their careers.
