We deliver the complete solar solution - concept, design and installation - all in-house, all to the standard our motto demands: Do it once, Do it right, Do it on time.

Solar in New Zealand is booming, our install pipeline is full, and we need skilled electricians who want to be part of the clean energy shift - not just watch it happen.

• Carry out commissioning, testing, fault-finding and system handovers
• Complete certification, test results and documentation properly, first time

Quality & Customers:

• Deliver tidy, safe installs you’d put your own name to - because ours is on every one
• Walk customers through their new system in plain English
• Work safely at heights and on roofs - harness use and edge protection, every time
• Support servicing and maintenance callbacks on installed systems

What We’re Looking For

• Registered Electrician with a current NZ practising licence
• Solar PV and battery installation experience preferred - or a strong sparky keen to specialise (we’ll train you)
• Comfortable working at heights and on roofs
• High standards, reliable, and great with customers in their homes and businesses
• A team player who mucks in and takes pride in the finished job

What’s in it for You?

• Competitive package (negotiable based on experience)
• Vehicle, phone and tools of trade provided
• Full pipeline of solar work - no waiting around between jobs
• Training and upskilling in solar, battery storage and emerging tech
• The security of a 40+ year-old company with the buzz of a growth division
• Be part of the clean energy shift - work you can feel good about

Applicants must have the right to work in New Zealand.
