If you know the internet like the back of your hand and fancy using your skills to help create a better world, this is THE role for you.

Solarcentury is the UK’s leading solar energy company ( www.solarcentury.com ) and we are looking for a highly skilled, extremely passionate ‘web geek’ to improve our online presence.

Working as part of the marketing team you'll be responsible for ensuring the solarcentury website, and related websites (www.themertonrule.org plus forthcoming international sites) are as dynamic as the company they represent.

The ideal candidate will have built numerous websites and have an in-depth understanding of the capabilities of the web as well as a being an extremely motivated and energetic individual who is keen to ‘make a difference’. This role is ideal for an ethically driven college leaver or university graduate looking to use their web design skills in a rapidly expanding market.

Experience of HTML, CSS, open source Content Management Systems, some Flash and PHP will all act in your favour. Candidates will need to be confident communicators, both in written and verbal communications. An understanding of the arguments and issues surrounding renewable energy and global warming would also be an advantage.

You'll need to be:

Happy trawling through and entering data online
Turned on by spotting tipos
Keen to keep web copy and images up to date
A genius at thinking up cool things we could do with our site
Effective working alongside our Designer to create inventive and dynamic designs
Knowledgeable about improving usability
Happy liaising with the sales team on content of website
Thrilled to write and upload case studies and new products
Keen to keep our blogs up to date
Proactive at coordinating our links policy
Buzzing at the idea to improve our google juice
and happy working as part of a young, fun, super-eco, hard working comms and marketing team

Salary: depends how good you are, but it’ll be about £22k (plus a bonus and a pensions scheme and cheap access to the gym and all that other corporate jazz...)

If you think you might be the person we’re looking don't send us your CV (we're sick of them) write a concise e-mail, including links to sites you have designed and a brief sentence explaining your involvement in these, to recruitment @ solarcentury dot com ASAP

Just to clarify (and big!!) up this job offer:
It's a full time post, based in our offices in Waterloo, although we run a flexi policy which means you can work from home whenever you like 'as long as you don't let your team down'.
Really, I can't believe more people haven't applied! Perhaps Green Man is right (http://www.drupal.org.uk/node/144) and all you geeks are happy freelancing away! But I know from bitter experience how worrying freelancing can be if you're struggling to find contracts and need to pay the rent + bills...
solarcentury is far from the 'corporate gig' many fear... in fact, it's a dam cool place to work full of world saving eco-geeks implementing positive solutions...
£22k/year is only a guide. You could get more if u have what we need.

:)
