- Testing, commissioning, and handing over completed installations, talking customers through their new system
- Working from surveys and specifications prepared by the technical team, flagging any issues on site
- Maintaining a clean, safe, and organised work area at every property
- Building good relationships with homeowners, representing the business professionally at all times
- Completing accurate job sheets, certification, and paperwork for every installation
- Working closely with the office, survey, and technical teams to ensure a smooth customer journey
What We're Looking For
- City & Guilds L3 qualified electrician (or equivalent recognised qualification)
- Proven experience installing renewable technologies - heat pumps and/or solar PV - into domestic properties
- Based in the region, ideally centrally located for ease of travel to jobs
- Full, clean driving licence and access to your own vehicle
- A conscientious, quality-focused approach to your work
- Comfortable working independently and managing your own day
- A professional manner with customers, taking pride in the finished job as well as the technical work
