P&C Electrical is looking for an experienced Solar PV Designer to join our team in Derby.
We install solar PV, battery storage and EV charging for domestic, commercial and industrial clients across the UK. Up to now our design work has been done externally. We're bringing it in-house so that designs are right first time, turnaround is quicker, and our sales, operations and install teams are all working from the same information.
The role
You'll take a job from survey through to a design our engineers can install from. That ranges from a single house to large commercial rooftops and ground mounts.
Day to day, you'll be:
- designing domestic and commercial PV and battery systems
- producing panel layouts, string designs and electrical schematics
- carrying out shading assessments and generation forecasts
- specifying panels, inverters, batteries, mounting systems and protection
- putting together material schedules, specifications and install packs
- doing cable sizing, volt drop and protection calculations
- preparing the technical information for G98 and G99 applications
- checking surveys, roof measurements and supply details, and spotting problems before they reach site
- making sure every design meets MCS requirements, BS 7671 and manufacturer instructions
- dealing with customers, DNOs, manufacturers, surveyors and our install teams
- giving technical support to our estimating and sales teams
What we're looking for
- A solid understanding of domestic and commercial electrical installations
- Working knowledge of battery storage and EV charging
- Experience with PV*SOL, OpenSolar, SolarEdge Designer or similar
- The ability to produce clear drawings and schematics that an installer can work from
- A working knowledge of MCS and the G98/G99 process
- Good attention to detail, and the organisation to keep several live projects moving at once
An electrical qualification, CAD skills or time spent on site would all help, but none of them are essential for the right person.
What you'll get
- A market-leading salary based on your experience
- A strong benefits package
- A permanent role in a growing renewables business
- A mix of domestic, commercial and industrial work, so no two weeks are the same
- Hands-on experience with leading solar, battery and EV charging products
- Ongoing manufacturer and industry training
- Room to progress as the design function and the business grow
