We are actively reviewing applications and interviewing on a rolling basis. Apply today for immediate consideration for this Dublin-based role.
PureVolt Solar, an SEAI-registered solar panel installation company, is currently hiring a Full-Time Solar PV Electrician based in Dublin and East Ireland (Leinster). In this senior role, you will be managing and carrying out solar PV installations in Domestic & Commercial settings.
You will be part of a growing team and will play a key role in each installation project. Through our generous bonus structure, you will have a direct stake in the success of our company and know your contributions are valued and recognised. You can view the equipment we use and the quality of our workmanship here.
The main requirement is that you must be a fully qualified Electrician with the National Electrical Craft Certificate. Here's the full list:
Please note that this is a fully qualified, senior role. To be considered for this position, you must be able to work as a fully qualified electrician in Ireland.
If you trained outside of the Republic of Ireland, you must already possess:
This is a senior electrician role, not an apprenticeship. However, if this is your first job in the solar industry, we will provide comprehensive training on our specific solar PV systems, inverters, and battery storage units. You bring the electrical expertise and domestic experience, and we will teach you the solar specifics.
If you don't already have your Electrical Testing and Verification qualification (QC), then we will pay for you to do this and become a Qualified Certifier. This is a great qualification to have and will help you to progress in your career.
Not necessarily. You already have the electrical expertise. If you're motivated to learn, we can provide the training you will need to transfer your knowledge and skills to solar PV Installations.
When a customer contacts us, we do an initial quote with details of the size of the system. We use our specialised software to look up the property on Google Maps and then design the most appropriate system to suit their circumstances and needs. We take into account the direction the property is facing, the pitch and type of roof, the client's current annual consumption, and the times they are most likely to consume the most.
Once the initial system design is approved, our head engineer then visits the site to conduct a complete survey of the property. He inspects, measures and ensures everything on the original quote will work and notes any modifications needed. This is to ensure that when you turn up, you have everything you need to complete the job and there are no surprises.
Once this is complete, a final system design is drawn up and distributed to the team, including you, with full details of exactly what is required.
Once we confirm the delivery of materials and equipment to the site, we agree an installation date with the client.
Then the Dublin team roofer will complete the first part of the project by installing the solar panels on the roof.
Once that is complete, you and the other Dublin-team electrician will complete the electrical part of the project and bring the system into commission.
We're a small and friendly team who have each other's backs. We're proud of our workplace culture, and we're looking for people who can help us to build it further. Before we add anyone to our team, we always want to be sure that they share our mindset when it comes to efficiency, hard work and doing what's right for the customer.
PureVolt Solar is a fully certified, SEAI-registered solar PV installation company. We pride ourselves on executing safe, compliant, and highly efficient renewable energy systems across Ireland. When you join us, you are joining an authoritative, trusted entity in the Irish green energy sector.
Our office team is a mix of solar specialists on the one hand, and marketing / tech nerds on the other. Our installers are the best in the business — we only work with people who meet our high standards. The marketing guys are the reason we usually have more enquiries than we can install. The tech nerds are the reason our installers never show up to a job with the wrong parts.
As well as being the solar installer, you will also be the face of PureVolt while you are at the customer's house. Whenever we get a five-star review, it will be in large part because you maintained PureVolt's standards of tidiness, workmanship and good communication. This is what we're about.
Our people really care about what we do here. We want to help Ireland go green, and we want to help people to make the right decisions for themselves when it comes to reducing their energy bills. If you believe in solar and you care about how it benefits both the customer and the environment, we would really love to speak with you.
PureVolt was founded to make a difference, not to make a profit. That's why we're giving away all of our profits to good causes in Ireland — in the form of free solar panels. More solar panels on rooftops means less carbon emissions (this is why we exist). And if the people and organisations under those roofs are doing good for their community, well that's even better! If you know a charity who would benefit from free clean energy, please tell them about our free solar for good causes scheme.
If you think you might be interested in applying for this role, but would like to know what it is like to work for us, then please let us know. We will set things up for you to speak with one of our current employees and you can ask them anything you want, in complete confidentiality.
Location: Dublin area & East of Ireland (Leinster). There will be some travel to sites elsewhere but you will be joining a team which is focused on Dublin and East Coast installations.
Full-time role. Monday to Friday (Flexitime) - 39 hours
That is a good thing! We want to make sure you have every opportunity to assess us.

We are actively reviewing applications and scheduling interviews as they arrive. If we find the perfect fit for the team, we may make a hiring decision quickly, so an early application is highly encouraged.
We're a small team of committed people who have got each other's backs. If you care about your colleagues, care about doing a good job and care about the environment — we want you on our team. Here's a look at who you will be working with.
Ian runs PureVolt. If you go ahead with a detailed quote, it will probably be Ian who visits you. He will inspect your roof, your electrics and anything that could affect solar performance. You can expect Ian to be open, honest and transparent: if solar is not the best solution for you right now, it's Ian's job to say so.

With a background in his family's own roofing business, Nathan says a head for heights is in his DNA. But two other things are equally core to his being. The first is a passion for seeing Ireland go green. The second is dogs: if you have a friendly pooch, Nathan will be its friend for life by the time your installation is completed.
