Whether responding to emergency breakdowns or proactively improving system performance, you'll play a key role in delivering clean energy solutions.

Where you'll be doing it

You'll be part of a dynamic, forward-thinking organisation that values innovation, quality, and teamwork.

What you'll need
You must have an Electrical Trade Test Certificate (3-phase) and at least 3-5 years of experience working with solar PV and BESS. A valid Wireman's License (advantageous) and a driver's license are also required.
