🚨 Senior Solar Designer / Solar Design Manager 🚨
📍 Bromsgrove (Hybrid Working)
💼 Permanent | Full-Time
A newly launched energy division, backed by a well-established UK engineering group, is looking for an experienced Senior Solar Designer / Solar Design Manager to play a pivotal role in building and shaping a high-growth renewable energy business from the ground up.
Backed by significant committed investment and the infrastructure, reputation, and relationships of a long-standing engineering organisation, this is a rare opportunity to join at the start of an ambitious growth journey within the commercial renewable energy sector.
The business is focused on delivering integrated commercial energy solutions including:

• Battery storage system design experience
• Solar carports, ground-mount or microgrid exposure
• EV charging infrastructure knowledge
• Experience within a UK installer, EPC or developer environment
💡 What’s on Offer:
• Competitive salary depending on experience
