* Ensure compliance with UK regulations such as the Electricity at Work Regulations and BS7671.
* Liaise with Control Engineers, DNOs, and internal stakeholders to manage site access and system operations.
* Maintain accurate records, reports, and testing documentation to support safety audits and asset performance.
* At least 5 years’ experience in HV operations, ideally in the solar or wider renewables sector.
* Recognised SAP authorisation (issued by a UK DNO or equivalent provider).
* In-depth knowledge of HV protection systems, switchgear, transformers, and grid code compliance.
* Electrical engineering qualification (HNC/HND or degree).
* Sound understanding of UK electrical safety rules and procedures.
* Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel regularly to sites along the M1 corridor.
* Familiarity with SCADA systems and asset monitoring tools.
* Experience working with battery storage systems or hybrid renewable infrastructure.
* Strong communication and leadership skills in operational or high-pressure environments.
What’s on Offer:
* A flexible, remote-first role with a respected renewable energy operator.
* Opportunities for career development and further technical training.
* A chance to play a key role in the UK’s clean energy future.
Applications are welcomed from people of all backgrounds, particularly those underrepresented in the renewable energy sector – including women, Black, Asian and minority ethnic individuals, disabled people, and LGBTQIA+ candidates.
