Job Description

At British Solar Renewables, we develop, build and maintain utility-scale solar, wind and battery storage projects across the UK and internationally. With more than 700MWp developed and built, we're proud to play a major role in the transition to a net zero carbon future.

Our O&M team is trusted for its expertise, high standards and safety-first approach. We work responsibly, transparently and ethically, with one simple mantra guiding everything we do: home safe - every day.

As a Maintenance Operative, you'll support the successful delivery of planned and reactive maintenance across a portfolio of utility-scale solar PV and BESS sites. Working closely with our O&M Service Technicians and regional support teams, you'll help keep our sites safe, operational and well maintained.

Why apply?

This is a hands-on role where your work has real impact. You'll be part of a growing renewable energy business, supporting essential infrastructure and helping deliver clean power safely and consistently. If you enjoy practical problem-solving, outdoor work, variety in your day and being part of a purpose-led team, this could be a great fit.

What you'll be doing

You'll support both planned and reactive maintenance, repair, reporting and operational activities across BSR sites. This is a permanent role and includes participation in a weekend on-call rota.

• Carry out planned preventative maintenance on grounds, fences, mechanical and structural assets, excluding electrical works.
• Respond to reactive maintenance needs, faults and repairs across grounds, fences, security systems, mechanical and structural assets.
• Complete repair and rectification work across sites to keep assets safe, secure and operational.

• Provide practical support to O&M Service Technicians as needed.

What you'll bring

• Experience in a maintenance operative or similar hands-on maintenance role.
• Confidence operating plant and UTVs; an NPORS ticket is desirable but not essential.

• Good communication skills and the ability to work well as part of a team.

• Broad maintenance knowledge with the ability to problem-solve and explain solutions clearly.
• A cooperative, action-focused mindset and willingness to support teams across BSR.
• The ability to remain calm and steady under pressure.
• Comfort working outdoors in all weather conditions and carrying out physically demanding work.
• A clean driving licence; a towing or trailer licence would be beneficial.

What you'll get from BSR

• Monthly social events, including team lunches, breakfasts, volunteering days, and Christmas and summer parties.
• Hybrid working options where role requirements allow.
• Enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption policies.
• Annual bonus scheme to recognise your contribution.
