Launch your career in solar energy with a hands-on calibration role!
Is this you?
You’re meticulous, self-motivated, and enjoy practical, hands-on work. With a disciplined work ethic and a knack for problem-solving, you’re excited about working independently, often in remote locations. Your attention to detail ensures every task is completed to the highest standard, and you thrive in a role where no two days are the same.
What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)
As a Junior Calibration Technician, you’ll work with solar and meteorological instruments, conducting pre-calibration checks and office-based calibrations. On occasion, you’ll travel to remote sites for on-site calibration projects. In addition, you’ll maintain equipment, draft detailed reports, and provide quality control support. This role is dynamic, offering a mix of office work and travel, all while contributing to the fast-growing solar energy sector.

Our client is an energetic company specialising in cutting-edge solar energy services and solutions for large-scale projects.
