Activ8 Solar Energies has recently opened a new depot in Cashel, and we're recruiting roofers and electricians to join our growing installation teams in the region.
Based at Cashel Business Park, our new location will help us deliver solar installations across Tipperary and the surrounding counties, while creating full-time, permanent opportunities for skilled local tradespeople.
Whether you've spent years working on roofs or have built your career in domestic electrical installations, you could find your next move is closer to home than you think.
And you don't need to have worked in solar before to consider joining us.
Roofer Jobs in Cashel - Bring Your Experience to Solar Installation
If you're an experienced roofer looking for work in Cashel or County Tipperary, solar PV installation could be a natural next step.
A successful solar installation starts with people who understand roofs. Knowing how to work safely at height, assess different roof structures and ensure everything is fitted securely are all skills that experienced roofers already bring to the job.
We're looking for roofers to join our Cashel-based installation teams, working on solar panel installations for Irish homes and helping households generate more of their own electricity.
The role involves much more than simply securing panels to a roof. You'll be working with experienced colleagues, following strict safety procedures, ensuring installations are completed to a high standard and dealing directly with homeowners.
Ideally, applicants will have at least three years' relevant roofing experience, be comfortable working safely at heights and hold a full, clean driving licence. Experience in solar installation is an advantage, but it's not essential.
Our solar installation roles include six weeks of specialist industry training, helping experienced tradespeople adapt their existing skills to renewable energy.
If you're looking for roofer jobs in Cashel, Thurles, Cahir or the wider Tipperary area, you can find more information on our current job openings page.
Electrician Jobs in Cashel - Put Your Skills to Work in Solar Energy
We're also actively recruiting qualified electricians to join our installation teams based out of Cashel.
For electricians with experience in domestic installations, solar energy offers an opportunity to put existing skills to work in a growing industry.
The role involves installing, testing and commissioning residential solar PV systems, working with electrical components, checking system performance and ensuring installations meet Safe Electric specifications and SEAI requirements.
It's skilled, practical work that builds on the knowledge electricians already have.
We're particularly interested in qualified electricians with domestic installation experience, strong problem-solving abilities and a good understanding of electrical testing and safety standards.
And while previous solar experience is useful, it's not a requirement for making the move into the industry.
Successful candidates receive six weeks of industry-specific training, giving them the opportunity to build on their electrical qualifications and become familiar with solar PV technology.
These are full-time, permanent positions, with benefits including a company pension, healthcare and other employee supports.

Activ8 has come a long way since being founded in 2007, and has grown into one of Ireland's leading solar installation companies, with more than 25,000 installations completed across the country.

But a company's reputation isn't just about the number of installations it completes. It's also about how it treats the people doing the work.
In September 2026, Activ8 officially achieved Great Place to Work-Certified™ status, following anonymous feedback from our own employees.
That recognition means a great deal to us because it comes directly from the people who know the company best. Their feedback highlighted trust, respect, teamwork and opportunities for professional development.
Activ8 was also recognised at the 2026 Workplace Excellence Awards, winning the Best Workplace for Employee Engagement & Team Building Award.
For anyone thinking about changing jobs, those are important things to consider. Finding a role that suits your skills matters, but so does finding somewhere you'll feel supported and valued.
Our employee benefits include a company pension, private healthcare, life cover, wellness supports and gym subsistence.
Above all, we're looking for people who take pride in their work, understand the importance of safety and enjoy being part of a team that gets things done properly.
Do You Need Previous Solar Installation Experience?
Not necessarily, as one of the advantages of moving into solar installation is that experienced tradespeople already bring valuable knowledge to the job.
Roofers understand how different roofs are constructed and how to work safely at height. Qualified electricians understand electrical systems, testing procedures and the importance of meeting technical standards.
There are new things to learn, of course, which is why both our roofing and electrician opportunities include six weeks of specialist solar training.
And with Activ8's new Cashel depot now open, there's an opportunity to develop those skills while becoming part of a growing local team.
If you've been thinking about changing direction without abandoning the trade you've spent years learning, solar could be well worth considering.
