SunWorks are excited to announce the Bursary Scheme for 2023 is now open for applications! Last year was even more successful than we hoped with Tom Bullock, he completed his work experience with SunWorks which lasted for 3 weeks. Tom was a student Studying Aerospace Engineering at the University of Nottingham. Throughout the experience Tom worked alongside the different teams which gave him a great opportunity to touch all aspects of a sustainable solar business; from surveying properties, to designing PV systems and then assisting the wider team to install solar panels on roofs from start to finish.
Last year SunWorks installed Solar on over 100 properties, and to date converted over 370 properties on Island to ‘greener energy’. SunWorks expanded the workforce with an additional 13 employees last year, a total of 23 at present. Everyone comes from various backgrounds who bring key expertise to the business which make it a great place of work.
A person employed with SunWorks said “Since starting with SunWorks nearly half way through last year, I can honestly say I’ve never worked at a better place (and I have worked at many different places around the world). They have provided training and supported me in my role and they have now enrolled me on courses which further develop my career.” 
We are looking for young people who are environmentally aware and are interested in completing a degree in either energy, construction, engineering, project management, electrical work or computer aided design. 
Are you studying or do you know a student who is looking for a career in renewable energy? Get in touch with Jerseys leading Solar experts for a chance to work with a great team for 3 weeks this Summer and a £1,500 bonus! There could also be an opportunity for paid work experience after completion of the 3 weeks.
SunWorks are taking applications now and will start interviewing April this year. Please send your CV and tell us why you would like the opportunity to work with us to info@sunworks.je.Closing end of March 2023. 

SunWorks is a solar photovoltaic (PV) Design, installation and maintenance company based in Jersey. They are pleased to announce that Tom Bullock, a student Studying Aerospace Engineering at the University of Nottingham joined the team for three weeks in July 2022. Tom experienced all aspects of the business from surveying properties, to designing PV systems and then assisting the wider team to install solar panels on roofs. 

Tom impressed everyone at SunWorks, thus the team enjoyed having him onboard. Inquisitive, practical, and easy-going are all great attributes to be a part of the SunWorks team. Being a team player encourages students to work hard, have honest communication, and enables highly professional jobs to be finished in a timely manner with all safety measures adhered to. One key strength Tom had was being inquisitive and asking plenty of questions, although he was never far from already knowing the answers.  

SunWorks continually work on Solar in all different aspects; off-grid, residential and commercial, no day is ever the same! Therefore, SunWorks bursary scheme is a great starter for students who are considering a career in renewable energy and the only of its kind on the island at present. On top of the work experience, the bursary student is eligible to receive £1,500 upon completion along with business references and an excellent addition to a CV. SunWorks will be running the Bursary again in 2023 and welcome applicants to start applying from January 2023.
