Job Title

Technical Manager - SolarBasic Salary 45K - 55K + Bonus (DOE)Kent - Hybrid (Flexibility Required)Do not pass up this chance, apply quickly if your experience and skills match what is in the following description.Your New EmployerThis is an established renewable energy installation and services business based in Kent, operating across the South East. They deliver Solar PV, battery storage and EV charging projects for both homeowners and commercial customers, and theyve built a strong reputation over the last decade by doing things properly - safely, compliantly, and to a consistently high standard. The company is now part of a wider UK home energy group, creating genuine momentum and long-term stability, alongside increased investment in systems, training, and quality.Your New RoleAs Technical Manager, youll take ownership of electrical compliance, technical standards and installation quality across the operation. This is not a boots-on-the-ground site supervisor role - its a technical leadership position where youll ensure every job is designed, installed, tested, certified and documented to the right standard, every time.Youll act as the key point of accountability for electrical governance and compliance, including Qualified Supervisor (QS) responsibilities where applicable. Youll work closely with Operations and Projects, supporting engineers and subcontractors with technical decision-making, resolving non-conformances, strengthening processes, and driving a culture where quality and safety are simply how we do things.Day-to-day, youll be reviewing technical paperwork, improving compliance workflows, auditing installs, supporting issue resolution (from commissioning snags through to customer escalations), and ensuring the business stays aligned with relevant regulations, standards, accreditations and best practice. Youll also play a big part in upskilling teams - not just through formal training, but by raising the bar on technical understanding, consistency, and pride in workmanship.Your BackgroundYoull be a technically strong electrical professional with solid experience in domestic and/or commercial renewables OR extensive experience as a Technical Manager / Qualified Supervisor in a more traditional electrical contracting business. Either way, youll be confident taking ownership of compliance, certification and quality. Youll understand what good looks like in the field, but youll be most effective from a technical management perspective - setting standards, coaching teams, and making sure the operation can scale without cutting corners.Having a strong working knowledge of Solar PV and ideally battery storage and EV charging is helpful but if you don't full training will be provided. You'll have a clear understanding of how a variety of systems interface with electrical design, protection, testing and commissioning. Youll be comfortable interpreting regulations and standards, turning them into practical processes, and holding others accountable when something isnt right.Relevant electrical qualifications are important here (for example City & Guilds/NVQ pathways), and any IOSH or similar H&S training is useful, but the key is your ability to lead on compliance, improve quality, and keep projects technically clean from start to finish. If you already hold additional renewables tickets (such as BPEC Solar, battery, EV), or cards/certs such as Part P, ECS Gold/Black, First Aid, CSCS or SSSTS/SMSTS, thats a bonus - but not essential if your technical management experience is strong.Whats On OfferYoull be joining at a time where renewables demand is accelerating and the business has the backing to grow sustainably, with better infrastructure and wider group support behind it. Youll have real influence over technical standards and how the business operates day-to-day, and youll be trusted to make improvements that genuinely stick.The package includes a company pension, annual bonus scheme, healthcare plan (via Benenden), 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, an EV salary sacrifice scheme, and regular company events and a company vehicle is provided for the role.The interview process is straightforward: an initial stakeholder interview with the Head of Operations (around one hour), followed by a skills-based interview with the General Manager (around one hour), focused on your technical track record and how you approach compliance and quality.Get in TouchIf youre a compliance-led electrical professional who enjoys setting standards, improving quality, and keeping teams operating at their best, this is a brilliant opportunity to step into a key technical leadership role in a growing renewables business. xjdpvnf Apply through this advert with your CV, or reach out to Lindsay Warren to request a confidential conversation about the role.
