Overview of the Role
Our Electricians are the backbone of our on-site operations, bringing to life the solar solutions we design for our clients. As an Electrician, you will work on installing and connecting solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for homes and businesses, ensuring they operate safely and efficiently. This role is hands-on and vital: you'll be directly responsible for turning clean energy plans into reality, upholding the highest standards of quality and safety.
You will join a team that values craftsmanship, teamwork, and safety within a company culture centered on innovation in renewable energy and customer satisfaction. With our company expanding its project roster, you'll encounter a variety of installations, giving you opportunities to grow your skills in the cutting-edge field of solar energy.
Key Responsibilities
1. Solar PV Installation: Execute the electrical installation of solar PV systems, including mounting and wiring solar panels, inverters, batteries, and associated equipment in accordance with design specifications and local electrical codes.
2. Electrical Connections: Safely connect solar systems to the building's electrical network and the grid. Install and commission switchgear, circuit breakers, generation meters, and other components to integrate the solar setup seamlessly with existing infrastructure.
3. System Testing & Commissioning: Conduct thorough testing of installed systems. Verify proper voltages, currents, and system performance using appropriate testing instruments. Troubleshoot and resolve any electrical issues or wiring errors to ensure the system functions optimally before handover.
4. Compliance & Safety: Rigorously adhere to all electrical safety standards and our safety protocols. Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and follow lockout/tagout procedures when necessary. Ensure every installation complies with national electrical regulations and passes any required inspections or certifications (for example, completing verification tests for grid connection compliance).
5. Quality Workmanship: Take pride in delivering neat, well-organized electrical work. Label circuits, tidy conduits/cabling, and ensure the finished installation not only functions well but also reflects our commitment to quality. Address any on-site modifications with the design team and document changes accurately.
6. Maintenance & Support: Occasionally perform maintenance checks or service calls for existing solar installations. Diagnose issues (if systems underperform or experience faults) and carry out repairs or upgrades as needed, minimizing downtime for the customer's solar generation.
7. Team Collaboration: Work closely with the broader installation crew, including roof installers, technicians, and site supervisors. Coordinate tasks efficiently – for example, planning when to run wiring while panels are being mounted – to ensure projects stay on schedule. Provide guidance or mentorship to junior electrical apprentices or technicians on the team, if applicable.
8. Customer Interaction: Interact professionally with clients when on-site. Explain basic system operations or answer simple questions the customer may have during or after installation, thereby enhancing the customer-centric experience. Refer any complex queries back to project managers or engineers as appropriate.
9. Continuous Improvement: Stay informed about the latest in solar technology and electrical codes. Participate in any offered training on new solar products or installation techniques. Actively contribute suggestions for improving installation practices or safety procedures based on field experience.
