About the role

The role will rapidly progress from Trades Assistant to an Electrical Apprenticeship.

The first part of your apprenticeship will be installing solar panels on the roof including rail installation and wiring. As your apprenticeship progresses, you'll be working on high-end home batteries (Tesla and Fronius), switchboard upgrades, EV charger installations, heat pumps and basic home automation.

We usually employ mature-age apprentices, but juniors are also welcome to apply. A background in carpentry, roofing or another trade is a huge advantage.

Applicants must be 18 years or older to be eligible for this apprenticeship position.

Benefits and perks

• Be part of a friendly, positive and professional team of tradies and apprentices.
• Have a pool room/gaming room at the warehouse for Friday socials.
• Take monthly rostered days off.
• Be proud of your workmanship. We're not interested in "smashing out jobs".
• Learn from the best Electricians in the Solar and Battery Storage industry. Install industry-leading products and learn the best practice methods.
• Be part of the climate solution - not part of the problem.

Skills and experience

• Must be good with a pool cue - but not too good ;)
• Should be fit and strong - the ability to lift 24kg solar panels on a roof.
• Must have a driver's license and own vehicle.
• Must hold an open driver's licence to be eligible for this position.
• Cert II in Electrotechnology is an advantage but not a requirement.
• The role will be full-time starting out on a casual rate. The hourly rate is dependent on experience.
• Must have permanent residency or Australian citizenship to be eligible for this position.
