At Solar & Storage Live in London, Solar&StorageXtra spoke with Jessica Jukes, Recruiter at British Solar Renewables.
Jessica touched on the company’s return to the event and its involvement in the Recruitment Zone.
She also shared how BSR is using the show to connect with passionate candidates and promote opportunities across all levels, from entry-level roles to senior positions.
The Recruitment Zone has become a well-known feature. For us, it’s all about raising our profile and sharing what we do and the roles we have to offer.
How is British Solar Renewables participating in Solar & Storage Live in London?
Jessica: This is our second year attending Solar & Storage Live in London. We’re exhibiting again, showcasing the vacancies we’re currently hiring for, and speaking with a wide range of candidates from different levels and backgrounds.
It’s a great opportunity to let people know about the opportunities available at BSR.
We think Solar & Storage Live is a fantastic event. A lot of people from our business attend to explore the exhibition and meet with suppliers.
We know there’s a wealth of talent at these events, and we felt there was no better way to position ourselves than within the Recruitment Zone.
Sturge and the team do a lot of work to promote the event beforehand, and the Recruitment Zone has become a well-known feature. For us, it’s all about raising our profile and sharing what we do and the roles we have to offer.
How has the Recruitment Zone been beneficial to British Solar Renewables?
Jessica: It’s been fantastic. As I mentioned earlier, there are so many different candidates, and everyone’s incredibly friendly.
It’s amazing to see how passionate people are about renewables and their desire to get into the sector and make a real difference for the UK and the planet.
It’s really refreshing. At BSR, we offer opportunities at a range of levels – from entry-level roles to mid-senior and management positions.
What roles have you been advertising at the show?
Jessica: One of the great things about Solar & Storage Live is the diversity of attendees. We’ve met people across all experience levels. There have been a lot of students interested in our entry-level roles, and we’ve also spoken with some fantastic electrical engineers and project managers.
What has been the best part of Solar & Storage Live?
Jessica: There’s been a real variety of people, and I’m definitely looking forward to following up with candidates when I’m back in the office on Monday.
I know I’ve touched on this already, but the passion for renewables really shines through – not just in the Recruitment Zone, but across the entire event. It’s fantastic meeting so many different people who want to be a part of this sector and join the team.
