  • Produce compliant solar PV layouts, inverter/battery specifications, cable schedules, and single-line diagrams
  • Conduct desktop technical assessments using surveys, photos, and design tools
  • Validate roof layouts, shading analysis, and system performance estimates
  • Ensure all designs meet MCS standards, G99/G100 compliance, and DNO requirements
  • Provide technical guidance to installers, project managers, and customers
  • 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:

  • 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
What we offer:
  • £60K 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
