Our client is a growing solar installation company seeking a Registered Electrician to take a hands-on leadership role across ground-mount and rooftop solar projects.

Based in Auckland, you’ll oversee electrical installation work, coordinate site crews and contribute to the full build. This role suits a practical electrician who enjoys leading from the front and getting involved in all aspects of construction.

• Supervising site crews and maintaining safe working practices and quality standards.
• Working alongside the mechanical installation team to keep projects moving.
• Contributing to site set-up, piling, ground-mount structure assembly, panel installation and general construction.
• Potentially operating machinery, depending on your experience and project requirements.
• Communicating with clients, delivery partners and site teams.
• Travelling to project sites and staying away overnight as required.
• Taking on greater team leadership responsibilities as the business grows.

What you’ll bring

• NZ electrical registration and a current EWRB practising licence.
• Strong leadership, communication and organisational skills.
• A practical, hands-on approach and willingness to work across the full build.
• A commitment to safety and quality workmanship.
• A full NZ driver’s licence and the legal right to work in New Zealand.
• Flexibility to travel throughout New Zealand and stay away on projects.

Location and travel

There is a strong pipeline of Auckland work for the remainder of 2026, with travel expected to increase in 2027. The ability to travel and spend nights away is essential.

What’s on offer

• $55 per hour, with flexibility for an exceptional candidate.
• Company ute.
• Paid travel time.
• Accommodation covered when working away.
• daily meal allowance when working away.
• Training support and career progression within a growing industry.
• An immediate start available, with larger Auckland projects coming up.
