Description

No day will be the same - here are some of the highlights

We're looking for a Solar PV Technical Specialist to join our team and provide expert technical support for customers with more complex Solar PV queries. You'll act as a specialist problem-solver, supporting customers, colleagues and delivery partners with accurate technical guidance, clear communication and strong ownership of cases through to resolution.

You'll manage and resolve complex Solar PV technical support tickets, using your knowledge of solar systems, inverters, monitoring platforms and installation standards to identify root causes and recommend the right next steps. Rather than taking general inbound calls, you'll work from a triaged queue of technical cases and contact customers through scheduled outbound callbacks, giving you time to review the issue properly before speaking with them.

• Fault Investigation & Diagnosis: Investigate Solar PV system faults, performance concerns and monitoring issues.
• Technical Customer Communication - Provide clear, confident technical explanations to customers.
• Stakeholder Coordination - Liaise with installers, field teams, manufacturers and internal teams to progress cases.

• Technical Issue Analysis - Identify patterns in recurring technical issues and share insight with the wider team.
• Technical Process Improvement - Help improve technical processes, troubleshooting guides and customer support standards.
• Escalation Support - Support first-line teams by acting as an escalation point for complex Solar PV queries.

Essentials:

• A good understanding of Solar PV systems and common technical issues.
• Confidence interpreting technical information and troubleshooting faults.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• The ability to explain technical problems in a simple, customer-friendly way.
