Use your technical knowledge to support and train other professionals
Receive comprehensive product, systems and customer support training
Build a long-term career within renewable energy and technology
You will work with solar installers, electricians and renewable energy businesses using an innovative technology platform.
Rather than completing installations yourself, you’ll become a trusted point of contact for customers, helping them understand the technology, work through technical questions and get the greatest possible value from the platform.
Your responsibilities will include:
Onboarding new customers and helping them get started
Delivering product demonstrations and practical training
Supporting solar installers and electrical professionals with technical questions
Troubleshooting issues and coordinating solutions with internal teams
Explaining technical information in a straightforward and practical way
Building strong relationships with customers across the solar industry
Checking in with customers and encouraging ongoing use of the platform

The confidence to speak with customers and explain technical concepts
Good problem‑solving skills and a practical approach
Basic confidence using computers and learning new technology
Strong communication and relationship‑building skills
A genuine desire to move into a long‑term office‑based career
An electrical licence or solar accreditation would be highly regarded but is not essential if you have strong practical industry knowledge.
Previous customer success, account management or software experience is not required.
This is not a call centre role and you won’t be reading from scripts. You’ll be using genuine industry knowledge to support other professionals and help shape how new technology is adopted across the solar sector.
It offers a realistic pathway off the tools for someone who wants more stability, less physical strain and the opportunity to develop a career in technical support, customer success, training or account management.
If you know the solar or electrical industry and are ready to turn your hands‑on experience into a corporate career, we’d like to hear from you.
