About Us

Flare Electrical & Solar Contractors is an established commercial electrical and renewables contractor based in Sevenoaks. We deliver fast-paced LED lighting upgrades across education, healthcare, public sector, retail and commercial environments throughout the South. Due to continued growth, we are looking for qualified electricians and experienced electrical improvers to join our LED lighting teams.

What the Working Week Looks Like:

A large proportion of our LED work is carried out in schools, so our working pattern is different from a typical construction role.

· Approximately 39 weeks of the year are predominantly evening / out-of-hours shifts.

· For much of the year, teams work 4 days per week on approximately 10.5-hour shifts, rather than 5 shorter days.

· The remainder of the year is generally daytime working, particularly during school holiday periods.

· Out-of-hours shifts are paid at time and a half, giving strong earning potential above your basic salary.

Salary & Placement:

Starting salary is based on your qualifications, practical experience, skill level and ability on site. We recruit across a range of levels, from experienced electrical improvers through to fully qualified electricians, and place each person at the level that best reflects their actual capability.

Basic salary range:

£28,000-£40,000 per year, plus enhanced shift payments where applicable.

Typical Earning Potential

Because evening / out-of-hours shifts are paid at time and a half, actual gross annual earnings can be significantly higher than the basic salary. Based on our typical LED working pattern of approximately 39 weeks of enhanced-rate evening work, indicative annual earnings could look approximately as follows:

Basic Salary

Illustrative Gross Annual Earnings

£28,000 approx. £38,000 @39 weeks 1.5 rate

£35,000 approx. £48,000 @39 weeks 1.5 rate

£40,000 approx. £55,000 @39 weeks 1.5 rate

Illustrative only: figures are based on the typical shift pattern and assume qualifying evening hours are paid at 1.5x. Actual earnings will vary with the shifts and hours worked and are not guaranteed.

There is clear opportunity to progress as your ability, productivity and responsibilities increase. Every employee will have an individual progression plan devised with them, setting out development goals and helping to ensure continual training and support are provided throughout their time with Flare.
