Residential Electrician

At Cotswold Energy Group, we're helping homeowners transition to cleaner, more efficient homes through the installation of renewable energy technologies including Air Source Heat Pumps, Solar PV, Battery Storage and EV Charging. 

We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional workmanship and customer service rather than high-volume installations. Every project is carefully designed, professionally installed and completed to the highest technical standards. 

Due to continued growth, we are looking for an experienced Residential Electrician who wants to develop a long-term career within the renewable energy sector. 

The Role 

This is far more than a traditional domestic electrician role. 

Working alongside our surveyors, heating engineers and installation teams, you will be responsible for the electrical installation, testing and commissioning of renewable energy systems within residential properties. 

You'll play a key role in ensuring every installation is safe, compliant and delivered to the highest standards.

• Complete electrical testing and certification in accordance with BS7671. 

• Ensure all installations comply with current Wiring Regulations, Building Regulations and MCS requirements. 

• Work closely with technical surveyors to ensure installations are completed as designed. 

• Liaise professionally with homeowners throughout the installation process. 

• Complete all installation documentation accurately. 

• Support apprentices and junior engineers where appropriate. 

• Maintain high standards of housekeeping, health & safety and customer care. 

You'll be a qualified electrician who enjoys solving problems and takes pride in producing high-quality work. 

You'll be comfortable working independently but equally enjoy collaborating with a wider installation team. 

Most importantly, you'll share our commitment to delivering outstanding customer experiences.
