*Build your future in renewables without spending your days on the roof*
LET Electrical & Renewables is a growing, family-run solar PV, battery storage and EV installation company based in Poole.
Since 2019, we have built our reputation on quality installations, honest advice and excellent customer service. Our installation diary is consistently busy, and we are looking for an experienced electrician to join our in-house team.
This is an electrical installation role. *You will not be responsible for installing solar panels on the roof.* Our roofing team handles the panel installation, allowing you to focus on the electrical work, testing, commissioning and customer handover.
This is an opportunity to work with modern renewable technology, become part of a close-knit team and progress toward a Lead Engineer or Supervisor position.
*This is not an apprenticeship vacancy. Applicants must be qualified electricians or have substantial experience on the electrical side of solar installations.*
What we offer
* Additional hours available * Paid travel time * Transport provided from our Poole office or agreed collection point (Van will provided for the right canidate) * Tools, PPE and branded workwear provided * Stable, year-round work * Training on solar PV, battery storage and EV systems * Manufacturer support and product training * Supportive in-house team * Quarterly team events * Genuine progression toward Lead Engineer / Supervisor * Opportunity to contribute ideas and help shape the installation team
*The role*
You will work alongside our roofing and installation teams to complete the electrical side of domestic renewable energy installations.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Installing and wiring solar PV electrical systems * Installing and connecting battery storage systems * Completing AC and DC electrical work * Installing and configuring inverters, gateways and associated equipment * Carrying out inspection, testing and commissioning * Completing electrical certification and handover documentation * Altering consumer units where required * Setting up monitoring platforms * Diagnosing and rectifying faults on existing PV and battery systems * Following drawings, method statements and installation procedures * Working professionally in customers’ homes * Coordinating with the roofing team so installations run smoothly
*Moving into renewables?*
If you are a qualified electrician or experienced electrician’s mate looking to move into the renewable energy sector, we will provide training on the solar PV, battery storage and EV systems we install.
You do not need to have experience with every product or system listed above. We are primarily looking for someone with sound electrical knowledge, the ability to carry out neat and safe electrical work, a willingness to learn and the right attitude.
You will work alongside an experienced electrician who has been with *LET for more than seven years, giving you practical support while you build your experience in renewables.*
This role has become available because our previous lead installer has progressed into an Operations Manager position within the business. That creates a genuine opportunity for the right person to develop with the company and progress toward a Lead Engineer or Supervisor role over time.
You will not be expected to install solar panels on roofs. Our roofing team carries out that work.
Essential:
* Recognised electrical qualification, or demonstrable experience as an electrician’s mate * Current 18th Edition Wiring Regulations, or willingness to obtain it * Full UK driving licence * Sound understanding of electrical installation principles * Ability to carry out neat, safe and reliable electrical work * Willingness to learn renewable technologies * Reliable, professional and customer-focused attitude * Ability to work independently and as part of a team
Desirable:
* Solar PV experience * Battery storage or EESS experience * Inspection and testing qualification * EV charger installation experience * MCS installation experience * Backup or EPS system experience
_We will consider a strong electrician’s mate with relevant hands-on experience, but the role will require them to develop toward the electrical competencies needed for the position._
You do not need to know every inverter or battery brand we use. We can train the right person on our systems. What we cannot easily teach is electrical competence, reliability, pride in your work and the willingness to improve.
*This role could suit you if…*
* You are already working in solar and want a stable in-house position * You are a strong domestic electrician wanting to move into renewables * You want to work within a proper team rather than operate alone * You are looking for a long-term role with progression
How to apply
Please apply with your CV and include:
* Your current role * Your electrical qualifications * Your solar, battery or EV experience * Your notice period * Your approximate location * Confirmation that you hold a full UK driving licence
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an initial phone conversation, followed by an interview and, where appropriate, a paid trade assessment.
If you are a capable electrician who wants stable work, paid travel, modern renewable projects and a genuine future within a growing team, we would like to hear from you.
