Congratulations to Niall on achieving High Voltage Senior Authorised Person authorisation
We are proud to celebrate another important milestone for the Solar Group team.
High voltage work is not just technical. It is about judgement, discipline, and knowing when to slow things down. That is why we are proud to recognise Niall Haigh on achieving High Voltage Senior Authorised Person (HV SAP) authorisation.
