An Exciting Opportunity

MAK Electrical is expanding, and we're looking for an experienced, motivated and commercially minded Senior Solar Technician to help grow our presence in the renewable energy sector.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands-on with Solar PV and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) installations but is also looking to take on greater responsibility as the business develops.

Initially, you'll play an active role in carrying out and overseeing installations, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to a high standard. As the business grows, there will be the opportunity to progress into a more senior operational role, taking responsibility for project management, installation teams, client relationships and helping drive the growth of the division.

About MAK Electrical

MAK Electrical is a growing electrical contractor delivering high-quality installations, maintenance and testing across the commercial and domestic sectors.

With a reputation built on reliability, quality workmanship and strong client relationships, we're now expanding into Solar PV and battery storage, creating exciting opportunities for talented people to grow alongside the business.

The Role: Install, Lead and Drive Growth

You'll combine hands-on installation work with technical oversight and project coordination, working closely with management, electricians, suppliers and customers.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Carrying out and overseeing Solar PV and battery storage installations.
• Leading and supporting installation teams, ensuring work is completed safely and to a high standard.
• Supporting site surveys, project planning, installation, commissioning and customer handovers.
• Coordinating technical requirements, materials, suppliers and installation schedules.
• Monitoring project costs, quality, compliance and overall delivery.
• Building strong client relationships and resolving technical or operational challenges.
• Contributing ideas and improvements to help develop MAK Electrical's renewable energy offering.

As the business grows, you'll have the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility for managing projects, teams and the wider operation.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone with strong technical knowledge, a proactive attitude and the ambition to develop their career.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Proven experience installing Solar PV systems.
• Good technical knowledge of inverters, battery storage and associated electrical installations.
• Experience overseeing installation teams or subcontractors.
• An understanding of project coordination, scheduling and commercial considerations.
• Knowledge of relevant electrical regulations, health and safety requirements and industry standards.
• Strong communication, organisation and problem-solving skills.
• A full UK driving licence and flexibility to travel across Surrey, London and the South East.

Relevant electrical qualifications and solar PV training would be advantageous. Previous project or contracts management experience would also be beneficial but isn't essential.

About You

You're technically capable, organised and comfortable taking responsibility. You take pride in your work, enjoy solving problems and understand the importance of delivering quality installations while keeping projects on track.

You're equally happy working hands-on on site and supporting the wider team, with the ambition to develop into a more senior operational role as the business grows.

Most importantly, you want to be part of something exciting, where your experience, ideas and contribution can make a real difference.

What's on Offer?

• Competitive salary: £50,000–£60,000 per annum for the employed position, depending on experience.
• Flexible engagement: Permanent employed position or self-employed contract arrangement.
• Career progression: Opportunity to develop into a senior operational and project management role.
• Vehicle support: Company vehicle or car allowance, subject to agreement.
• Holiday: 20 days' annual leave plus bank holidays for the employed position.
• Pension: Workplace pension for eligible employees.
