About Net Zero Careers

Net Zero Careers supports roles that ensure high-quality retrofit delivery and compliance across residential projects. Customer-facing roles like this are vital to ensure residents are informed, safe, and satisfied while supporting the UK's net-zero goals.

Role Overview

We are looking for a qualified and experienced Electrician to join a growing renewable energy installation team, working across a range of domestic renewable energy and low-carbon heating projects.
