We have structured this position around competitive pay, a 40-hour week, apprentice support, paid renewable-energy training and an additional earning opportunity for lead installers.

Shoalhaven Solar Energy Solutions is hiring both:

• Licensed electricians who want to move into solar, batteries and EV charging

• Experienced solar and battery electricians ready to lead installations

You do not need previous solar experience to apply for the licensed-electrician pathway.

• Greater responsibility for commissioning, compliance and crew development

Relocation assistance is available for suitable applicants moving to the Shoalhaven.

What makes this position different

Shoalhaven Solar is an entirely in-house, end-to-end solar and battery business. We do not subcontract our installations.

Our own team manages every stage of the customer’s project, including:

• System consultation and sales

• Design and technical planning

• Scheduling and customer communication

• Installation and commissioning

• Compliance documentation

• Customer handover

• Ongoing technical and after-sales support

For our electricians, this means clearer job information, direct access to the people who designed and sold the system, and support from one team that is accountable for the entire installation.

We focus on high-quality solar and battery systems rather than competing for the cheapest installation or pushing through the greatest number of jobs. Our electricians are given the support, equipment and apprentice assistance needed to complete safe, compliant installations they can be proud to put their name to.

We reward installation quality, complete documentation and a positive customer experience. Our lead-installer incentive is based on these outcomes.

The work

You will work on a range of residential and commercial projects, including:

• Maintenance and rectification work

What you need

Essential

• Current unrestricted NSW electrical licence

• Current Australian driver’s licence

• Solar Accreditation Australia accreditation

• Battery or stand-alone power-system training

• Working at Heights

• First Aid and CPR

• Experience supervising apprentices or installation crews

Electricians from residential, commercial, service, construction or maintenance backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

Your development pathway

If you are new to renewable energy, you will initially work alongside an experienced installer while building your solar and battery capability.

The development pathway is:

Licensed electrician → Solar Qualified Installer → Solar & Battery Qualified lead installer

We will agree on the training and competency requirements with you at commencement so you know what is required to progress.
