  • Manage onboarding of new engineers, ensuring qualifications, insurances, and compliance are verified.
  • Coordinate materials and logistics with our national solar equipment suppliers.
  • Implement and manage van stock control and monitoring systems.
  • Oversee cost control and purchase order management.
  • Use our job management system to track progress, compliance, and quality assurance.
  • Support continuous improvement across installation, compliance, and customer satisfaction processes.

Essential Qualifications & Experience:

  • Electrically qualified (AM2 or Level 3 NVQ).
  • 18th Edition Wiring Regulations certified.
  • Inspection & Testing qualification (2391 or equivalent).
  • Proven experience managing or supervising solar PV operations.

Desirable:

  • Installation of Small Scale Solar Photovoltaic Systems Level 3 qualification (or equivalent).
  • Previous hands-on experience installing solar PV systems.
