Job description

WISE Energy takes energy storage projects from manufacture right through to installation, with systems up to 10MW. We are looking for an electrician who wants to work on serious, large-scale battery storage, whether you are still training or already licenced. You will see the whole job, from the drawings through to the system running on site.

Key responsibilities

• Building and wiring battery systems in our factory, including HV and DC systems, switchgear and control cabinets
• Installing battery systems, inverters and switchgear on site, on projects of up to 10MW
• Working alongside our crane and deployment crews as large systems are lifted, placed and connected
• Working with Victron Energy equipment and battery management (BMS) communications
• Reading single line diagrams and wiring plans, and helping to build them
• Testing, fault-finding and commissioning, with the right documentation at each step
• Working safely with experienced licensed electricians, and learning the standards as you go

About you

• Either in your third year of an electrotechnology apprenticeship, in the final stages of your capstone or licence preparation, or already holding a NSW electrical licence
• Reliable, safety-minded and keen to learn the trade properly
• A team player who communicates clearly with customers and crew
• Willing to work at heights and on tools, and to travel for site projects
• A driver's licence
• Interest in batteries, renewables and large-scale power systems. Prior experience is not essential
• Keen to hold or obtain truck and crane licences and working-at-heights tickets, at WISE's cost and discretion
• Must hold or be working towards the appropriate NSW electrical licence and must be eligible to work in Australia

About us

• We design, build and deploy battery energy storage systems, including high-voltage and DC battery systems. Every project is custom designed to the site and the customer's needs, rather than built from a catalogue. We keep the designs deliberately simple, because reliability and serviceability matter as much as performance. We manage the full chain ourselves: engineering, manufacture, delivery and installation, using our own cranes and deployment equipment.
• Apprenticeship support, and a pathway to lead roles for licensed electricians
• Truck and crane licences and working-at-heights training, at our discretion
• Work vehicles supplied for onsite work
• Support towards solar and battery accreditation courses
• HV and DC battery systems up to 10MW and 4000A DC, from manufacture to commissioning
• Direct access to the engineers who design and build the systems
• Pay set by your year level, licence status and experience
