Field Electrician - Renewables

East Anglia * Competitive Salary + Benefits * Field Based | Full Time

We''re working with a well-established and fast-growing renewable energy installer to hire a Field Electrician at an exciting stage of their expansion. This is a hands-on installation role for a qualified electrician who wants steady, high-quality work installing heat pumps and solar systems into homes across the region.

You''ll be working on confirmed installations booked in by the office team, fitting renewable technologies to a consistently high standard and giving customers confidence in both the workmanship and the aftercare. The business has a strong local reputation built on the quality of its installations, and takes a longer-term view of its customer relationships rather than moving on once a job is done.

What You''ll Be Doing

  • Installing heat pumps, solar PV, and associated electrical systems in customers'' homes across the region
  • Carrying out first and second fix electrical work to a high standard, in line with current regulations
  • 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
  • Looking to build a long-term career with a growing business in a sector with real momentum
