Battery Storage Jobs for Solar and Battery Installation
Batteries store electricity so it can be used when it is needed most, from a home battery charged by solar panels to a large grid-scale site. Solar and battery installation is one of the fastest-growing parts of the energy sector. Bernoullis recruits solar battery installers, electricians, commissioning engineers and BESS technicians for installers, contractors and developers, and checks qualifications and references before anyone starts.
Why Battery Installers Use Bernoullis
Batteries store a lot of energy, so poor solar and battery installation is a real safety risk. Installers need sound electrical skills, careful testing habits and an understanding of the manufacturer’s rules. We look carefully at electrical competence, commissioning experience and safety habits, so the people we send can work safely.
We Know Battery Systems
We ask about the batteries, inverters and system sizes you work with before we search. Candidates are matched on solar panel battery installation work they have actually done.
Electrical Skills Checked
We confirm electrical qualifications, testing experience and any battery or solar courses. References from managers confirm the quality of their work.
Battery Storage Roles We Recruit
From solar battery installers in homes to engineers who commission large battery sites, we fill roles across battery storage.

Battery Storage Is Growing Fast
Solar panel battery installation in homes is at record levels. MCS recorded more than 40,000 certified battery installations in 2025, alongside 267,032 solar PV installations (MCS). Many homes now ask for solar and battery installation together.
Large battery sites are growing too, as the grid relies more on wind and solar and needs ways to store power. That means demand for solar battery installers, electricians, commissioning engineers and HV specialists.
We help firms by reaching solar battery installers who are not scrolling job boards and explaining your role honestly. For job seekers, that means battery jobs that match your skills and travel.

How to Hire Battery Storage Staff: A Practical Guide
Start with scale. Solar panel battery installation in a home and a grid-scale site need very different skills. Write down the system sizes and whether HV work is involved.
Next, be clear about electrical needs. Most battery roles need a qualified electrician, and testing experience matters a lot.
Then think about training. Battery makers often require installers to complete their own training, which you can provide after hiring.
Finally, move quickly. Solar battery installers and electricians with battery experience are in demand.
What we assess
- Electrical qualifications
- Testing and commissioning experience
- Systems previously fitted
- Safety habits
- Right to work and references
- Travel and site work
