About us
Solar4Business is a growing, privately owned company that designs and delivers commercial solar PV across the UK. Working alongside our sister company Inicio Funding Solutions, we also offer zero-capex Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) so businesses can go solar with no upfront cost.
We work with manufacturers, hospitality, leisure and property businesses across the UK, from single rooftops to multi-site portfolios. We are a small, hands-on team, so you will work directly with the directors and see how every deal is won, designed, priced and built.
The role
This is a graduate role with a clear purpose: to learn, and over time take ownership of, our solar design and PPA work. You will be trained by our Group Operations Manager on the commercial side and by our Technical Delivery Director on design and delivery.
You will learn industry tools including OpenSolar, CAD and PVsyst, help price and present PPA proposals, and help manage small to medium solar projects from survey to handover. Responsibility grows as your skills do, with a real route to becoming a qualified Solar Designer or a Solar Project Manager.
