Prosper Recruitment is working in partnership with a new client who is dedicated to providing innovative renewable energy solutions with a primary focus on solar power. Established to support the transition to clean energy, the company specializes in designing, manufacturing, and installing high-quality solar panels and energy storage systems for residential, commercial, and agricultural applications. Due to growth, this company is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Electrician to join and lead its fast-growing team. The successful candidate must be ambitious and keen to establish themselves as a senior electrician within the company that delivers a substantial number of commercial and domestic Solar PV installations each year.
The Lead Solar PV Electrician will form part of the management team at an already well-established renewable energy business and will be expected to lead the delivery of day-to-day commercial Solar PV installations. The successful candidate will report to the Site Manager and will be expected to lead and mentor a team of 3 less experienced and newly qualified electricians.
This role would suit someone who ideally has a good understanding of Solar PV and has led small electrical installation teams. Lead electricians from a strong commercial background without Solar Installation experience may also be considered.
