Electrical Design Engineer – Commercial Solar PV

You know what a drawing can miss. You’ve stood in front of the switchboard, walked the cable route and made the design work on a live site. Now imagine doing that across a national pipeline of commercial solar projects, with room to grow into a more senior technical role.

Pegasus Zero is recruiting on behalf of an established UK energy solutions business with a substantial pipeline of secured work and ambitious plans for its solar division. The business already delivers projects nationally across healthcare, education and the public sector. It’s now expanding its technical team to support the next phase of growth.

This role is for someone who combines AM2, NVQ Level 3, 18th Edition and Level 3 Inspection & Testing with proven experience personally producing the electrical design for commercial solar PV projects.

• Get on site. Survey existing electrical installations, identify defects or constraints and work out how the PV system can connect safely.
• Produce a design the team can build. Own the cable calculations, single-line diagrams and equipment layouts, along with the scope of works, bill of quantities and technical reports.
• Stay involved through handover. Take your designs through formal review and client approval, then work directly with installation managers and project planners to resolve practical issues before work starts.

You’re joining an established business at a point when its solar workload is expanding. The pipeline gives you the chance to work across different sites and electrical installations, take on more complex designs and build towardsenior technical or design leadership responsibilities as the team grows. If you want your next move to give you both project ownership today and scope to take on more responsibility over time, this role offers both.

• AM2, NVQ Level 3 in Electrical Installation, 18th Edition Wiring Regulations and Level 3 Inspection & Testing (2391 or 2394/2395).
• Commercial solar PV electrical design experience. You’ve personally sized cables, produced single-line diagrams and prepared electrical design packs for installation.
• Practical electrical surveying experience. You can identify defects in existing installations, apply relevant UK electrical regulations and explain how your findings affect the proposed design.
• Proficiency with Trimble Pro Design, Solar Edge Designer and Microsoft Office
  , plus the organisation and communication skills to manage surveys, design reviews and handovers.
• If you hold Level 4 Design & Verification (2396) and a solar PV qualification this would be highly advantageous.

• A generous base salary plus a company car allowance.
• The backing of a well-established, highly professional business that’s growing rapidly. You’ll join a technical team with structured design reviews and a close working relationship with its installation teams.
• A substantial pipeline of commercial solar work across the UK. You’ll tackle different sites and electrical installations, with ownership from the first survey through to handover.
• Scope to progress into senior technical or design leadership responsibilities. As the team expands, there’s room to take on more complex projects and greater responsibility for how designs are delivered.
• A home-based setup with UK-wide site travel for surveys.
