About this role
Electrical Technician
If you would rather be outdoors and hands-on than stuck behind a desk, this is the role for you.

As an Electrical Technician you will maintain and improve the electrical systems that keep a growing renewable energy operation running safely and efficiently, working on the plants that turn organic waste into clean energy.
