Careers in this sector
- Solar PV installer It's a cold bright morning and you're on a roof in Quedgeley, bolting the rails down and feeding the cable through into the loft. By four o'clock the meter's running backwards. £24k to £38k · 1 course in the county · Not yet mapped
- Battery and grid technician There's a battery the size of a fridge in a plant room in Ashchurch, and you're setting it to fill up overnight when power is cheap and run the building at teatime when it isn't. £26k to £45k · 1 course in the county · Not yet mapped
