Operations Manager - Electrical Contracting

Operations Manager – Renewable Energy and Electrical Contracting
Newton, Carnforth, £40 – £45k per annum, DOE, plus company vehicle
This is an opportunity to step into a central, influential role in a growing renewable energy and electrical contracting business, where your work will make a visible difference every day.
The successful applicant must have previous hands-on experience working as an Electrician. This practical background is important because you will be coordinating electrical projects, supporting installation teams and helping ensure work is planned and delivered to a high standard.
You will be trusted to help shape how projects run, how teams are coordinated and how customers experience the business. You will be joining a company with a strong reputation for quality, integrity and practical, knowledgeable advice, where doing the job properly matters.
For someone who enjoys organisation, variety and responsibility, this role offers the chance to use their electrical knowledge in a broader operational position, solve real challenges and play a key part in delivering projects that contribute to a more sustainable future.
What’s on offer:
* £40,000 to £45,000 per annum, depending on experience
* Company work van provided
* A key role in a growing renewable energy and electrical contracting business
* The opportunity to use your electrical experience in a broader management role
* A varied working day across scheduling, teams, customers, materials, project delivery and quality
* Genuine influence over how work is planned, coordinated and delivered
* The opportunity to contribute directly to renewable energy and net zero projects
* A supportive, knowledgeable team that takes pride in high standards
* The chance to work for a company built on honesty, quality workmanship and professional service
* The opportunity to support continued business growth
Why This Role Stands Out
This is not a narrow office-based coordination role. You will be involved across the full operational flow of the business, from planning work and supporting installation teams to helping projects run smoothly and ensuring customers receive the level of service they expect.
Your previous experience as an Electrician will help you understand the practical demands of the work, communicate effectively with the team and identify potential issues before they become problems.
You will have the satisfaction of seeing your work turn into well-run projects, efficient teams, satisfied customers and high-quality installations. You will also be part of a business helping customers make practical progress towards a more sustainable future through Solar PV, renewable energy and electrical contracting solutions.
