  • Support installer vetting, training, and quality assurance processes
  • Troubleshoot technical issues and refine system designs based on installer feedback
  • Develop and improve internal design processes, templates, and tools
  • Stay up to date with solar and battery technologies, standards, and best practices

Requirements

Required
  • Proven experience designing and specifying solar PV and battery systems
  • Strong understanding of electrical installation practices and BS 7671
  • Experience with MCS standards for solar PV and battery storage
  • Confidence interpreting surveys, photos, and roof plans
  • Ability to identify risks, compliance issues, and design optimisations
  • Excellent attention to detail and a methodical approach
  • Strong communication skills and confidence advising installers
  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving, growing startup
  • UK driving licence (site visits)
Nice to have
  • 18th Edition Wiring Regulations
  • Solar PV design software experience (e.g., PVSol, Helioscope, OpenSolar)
  • Battery commissioning or advanced training (e.g., GivEnergy, Tesla, SolarEdge)
  • MCS Solar PV qualification or equivalent
  • Experience leading teams or managing technical workflows

Benefits

  • £55K annual salary plus bonus
  • 28 days holiday per year (incl. national holidays)
  • Company vehicle
  • Opportunity to shape processes in a rapidly growing renewable business
  • Modern, supportive, and inspiring work environment
