Are you hardworking and friendly? Do you have an interest in renewable energy and/or the environment? Helios Solar Operations & Maintenance are one of the UK’s leading solar panel cleaning & maintenance businesses and are currently looking for hardworking and ambitious individuals to join our respected team. The role involves cleaning rooftop solar panels and also helping to install them from time to time. So a head for heights is a must, together with a healthy fear of heights. Full training will be provided to keep you safe. Helios are one of only a few independent companies in the UK that use specially designed solar panel cleaning robots to clean solar panels, so much of the hard work is done for you. However, the odd clean using a brush will be required from time to time as well as moving equipment around customer premises, so a degree of fitness is required, as well as the need to frequently work away from home. We’re a relatively new business (formed in 2018) - with big ambitions. We’ve helped to write the UK’s first ever Best Practice Guidelines for rooftop solar maintenance, we’ve been central to the Joint Code of Practice between the UK Solar & Insurance sectors and we’ve been involved in the Technical Committee for the IET’s Guide to Grid Connected Solar PV Systems. We’re going places. What this means for you is that you’ll be part of a new company, with guaranteed income, in a rapidly growing marketplace. If you’ve got personal life goals, we can help you to achieve them. In return for your hard work, you’ll be paid a starting salary of £35,500 per annum initially, with performance related bonuses of around £6,000 per annum and entry into a staff profit share scheme after a qualifying period. 10% of company profits will be paid to staff at the end of the financial year (just in time for Christmas)! For the right people there will be significant opportunities to move into other roles within the near future, due to our ever increasing order book. If you feel that you have the qualities to improve our team, please email your CV us. Successful applicants will be chosen for a phone interview, then a face-to-face interview. We look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you to a successful career in renewable energy!
