£34,000 – £40,000 · employed, full-time · shared crew van
Spark Energy UK installs residential solar and battery systems across England and Wales. We are building our own regional installation teams – employed, not subcontracted – and we need a roofer to lead the roof side of the crew at our new South East hub, based around Chelmsford.
You will be one of a three-person crew: a lead electrician, you, and an installer's mate. The roof is yours: mounting systems, flashing, weatherproofing and making sure the array is fixed so it stays fixed. The mistakes in this trade come back as a leak eighteen months later, so we hire for care as much as speed.
What the job is
- Four domestic solar and battery installations a week with your crew, Monday to Friday, with Friday mostly kept for deliveries, kit preparation and any remedials
- Setting out and fixing roof anchors and rails on tile, slate and flat roofs; panel mounting; flashing and weatherproofing; bird protection where specified
- Working at height from scaffold and roof ladders, and keeping the site tidy from the customer's point of view
- Evidence photos on every job through our own app (SparkOS), so the work you do is the work that gets checked
- Occasional distance work when a job sits at the edge of the hub's patch – mileage and overnight allowance are written into your contract
How we hire – fast
A short call about availability, travel and what you installed last month; a practical conversation with one of our installers; a paid day on a live install with one of our existing crews, at full rate; two trade references from whoever signed off your work; then an offer with tools and PPE named in the letter. We aim to get from first call to decision inside a week.
Start dates are set around the person, not the premises – we are hiring for this hub now.
Requirements
What you must have – we verify all of this before an offer
- Roofing experience on domestic pitched roofs – tile and slate – with references to back it up
- Working at height competence, evidenced
- Asbestos awareness, refreshed within the last 12 months
- Full UK driving licence
- Right to work in the UK
What we would like, and will pay for
- Solar PV installation experience – if you are a good roofer without it, apply anyway; the solar unit (City & Guilds 2922-34) is a short course and we fund it
- CSCS card
- Experience with in-roof and flat-roof mounting systems
- Scaffold awareness or PASMA
Benefits
- £34,000 – £40,000 a year depending on experience
- Shared crew van, tools and PPE supplied
- Funded training, including the 2922-34 solar unit if you do not already hold it
- Travel and lodging policy in writing: mileage beyond the hub's local patch and a nightly allowance for overnight work
- Employed, PAYE, full-time and permanent
