Looking for More Than Just Another Electrical Job?
GreenGenUK is expanding again across Devon and Cornwall, and we're looking for talented electricians to join one of the South West's leading renewable energy installation teams.
Established in 2011 and now part of the Hometree Group, GreenGenUK delivers award-winning renewable energy projects across domestic and commercial sectors. Our electricians work on some of the most varied and interesting projects in the region, combining traditional electrical skills with the latest renewable technologies.
One day you could be installing a Tesla Powerwall battery system. The next, wiring an air source heat pump and commissioning a renewable heating system, or even connecting a large scale commercial solar installation in a factory or hospital.
If you're looking to develop your career beyond standard domestic electrical work, we'd love to hear from you.
We are also interested in speaking with ambitious apprentice or trainee electricians who are in the second or third year of their qualification and want to build a long-term career in renewables.
