Looking to take your solar or electrical experience in a new direction?

Valoris Group is recruiting a Solar PV Technical Surveyor to join an established and growing renewable energy specialist.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a background in solar PV, electrical installations or technical surveying who wants to move into a more technical, site-assessment-focused position.

No sales targets. No sales pressure. Just a hands-on technical role in a growing industry.

You’ll visit domestic properties to assess their suitability for solar PV and battery storage installations, gathering the technical information needed to ensure projects are designed and installed correctly.

• Conducting technical site surveys for domestic solar PV and battery storage systems.
• Assessing roof space, measurements, shading and potential panel layouts.
• Identifying suitable inverter, battery and cable route locations.
• Inspecting existing consumer units, meter positions and electrical arrangements.
• Identifying potential installation challenges before work begins.
• Taking site photographs, measurements and detailed technical notes.
• Producing accurate survey reports for design and installation teams.
• Liaising with engineers, designers and installation teams to ensure smooth project delivery.

• A practical, technically minded individual with excellent attention to detail.
• An understanding of electrical installations, solar PV or building layouts.
• Confidence taking measurements and identifying installation challenges.
• Good communication and organisational skills.
• Comfortable using tablets, smartphones and digital reporting systems.
• Full UK driving licence.

• Previous solar PV surveying or installation experience.
• Electrical installation or inspection background.
• Knowledge of inverters, battery storage and domestic electrical systems.
• Experience using solar surveying software or technical reporting tools.

If you’re looking to step away from installation work and transition into a technical surveying position, we’d love to hear from you. Previous surveying experience isn’t essential if you have the right technical understanding and attitude.

• No sales responsibilities or targets – a purely technical position.
• Opportunity to transition from hands‑on installations into technical surveying.
• Work within the rapidly growing solar and battery storage industry.
• Variety of site visits and renewable energy projects.
• Join an experienced team with opportunities to develop your technical knowledge.

Whether you’re an experienced Solar PV Surveyor, an Electrician or a Solar Installer ready for a change, this could be your next career move.
