The Solar Power team provides an off-grid solar power supply to Buddhafield spaces and lighting around the site during the festival.
We are a team of about 6 people, and are looking for someone ideally with off-grid electrical experience to join us.
Before the festival, we provide power to charge radios and other uses, such as drill batteries and set up street lighting at strategic points.
During the festival we maintain the lighting, manage energy consumption of areas we are responsible for (especially important during times of poor weather), troubleshoot traders' electrical issues and Buddhafield equipment, and where possible help attendees with electrical issues arising. We also check the safety and compliance of traders and other electrical setups.
Timing
We need to arrive onsite early in the set up process and at the end of the festival ensure all equipment is taken down ready for storage. Some of the team needs to be on site between 5-24th July to set up the solar and lighting systems, (and tat down). However there is flexibility across the team for arrival and departure dates, with core dates in 2024 being 14th-21st July. During the festival we will arrange a shift pattern to ensure work coverage and time off to enjoy the festival.
We will have daily check-ins for both personal and work
In exchange we offer:
- Three delicious vegan meals per day for the time you are working
- Camping pitch and/or live-in parking
- A vehicle pass if needed
- An experience of living in a close-knit community on the land
- Opportunity to join daily meditation and Buddhist Dharma input
