Full-time, Permanent

A long-established, MCS-certified renewable energy and electrical services business is seeking a Lead Electrician to take ownership of all electrical work and certification as they continue to grow. With 14+ years in operation and a strong pipeline across heat pumps, solar PV, EV charging and general electrical projects, the business is now bringing its electrical capability fully in-house.

This is a career-defining opportunity to step into a senior, trusted role where you’ll lead the electrical function, shape how the division grows, and work closely with the wider operations team.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• No regular overnight stays – work stays local (typically within 1–1.5 hours of Nottingham)
• 9‑day fortnight OR Friday afternoons off
• Quality‑over‑quantity culture – low stress, no micromanagement
• Clear progression – lead the electrical side and mentor an apprentice
• Stable, long‑standing business with strong demand and repeat customers

Key Responsibilities

• Installing and commissioning electrical systems, including
  Heat pumps
  EV chargers
  General domestic and light commercial electrical work
• Testing, inspecting and certifying all electrical work (acting as sign‑off lead)
• Supporting the expansion of general electrical contracting, such as
  New‑build electrical services
  Electrical upgrades
  Additional residential and light commercial work
• Collaborating with the renewables and heating teams
• Mentoring the apprentice electrician and helping shape the future of the department

About You

• Fully qualified electrician (NVQ Level 3 or equivalent)
• Experience with solar PV, EV installations or heat pumps
• Strong domestic or commercial experience
• Able to carry out inspection, testing and certification (2391 or equivalent preferred)
• High professional standards, reliability, and strong communication
• Experience supervising or mentoring others
• Interest in helping grow a technical division

Salary & Benefits

• 9‑day fortnight (every other Friday off) OR Friday afternoons off
• 20 days holiday + Christmas Eve + New Year’s Eve
• Company pension
• Local working area – minimal travel, no regular nights away
• Supportive, family‑feel culture
