What We're Looking For
* 18th Edition qualification (desirable, must be willing/able to work towards it)
* Full UK driving licence and own transport - essential as you will often be in the field you will be paid 45p per mile for these trips
* Good practical skills and confidence with tools and test equipment
* Experience or interest in controls, automation, or programming (desirable)
* A genuine ambition to build a career in renewables
* Strong problem-solving ability and attention to detail
