Grow your solar and battery skills and progress your career

SJ Power is looking for a Solar Electrician to join our installation crews working on residential solar and battery systems across Newcastle, the Hunter Valley and Central Coast.

You'll work alongside experienced tradespeople, get stuck into the install, and build your skills on a steady run of solar and battery jobs. You won't be running the site — you'll be part of a crew that does, learning as you go and pulling your weight.

This is a hands‑on role for someone who wants to get better at the trade and build toward more responsibility over time.

ABOUT SJ POWER

Since 2019, SJ Power has grown into an established solar and electrical business servicing more than 2,500 customers across the Central Coast, Newcastle and Hunter Valley.

We're continuing to grow, and we're looking for people who want to grow with us.

For the right person, there's a genuine path forward — Leading Hand and beyond — as you build your experience with us.

WHAT YOU'LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

As part of an installation crew, you'll work under the direction of the Team Leader and get involved in all aspects of the install.

You’ll be responsible for:

- Carrying out electrical and installation work as directed
- Working safely and following site instructions
- Keeping your work area tidy and organised
- Helping the crew keep the job moving
- Learning the ins and outs of solar and battery installation
- Following safety,



compliance and quality standards
- Being reliable, on time, and pulling your weight
- Taking pride in doing your part of the job properly

We're looking for someone who turns up, works hard, and wants to learn.

You listen, ask questions when you need to, and get stuck in.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You'll be an electrician (or apprentice nearing completion) keen to build your skills in residential solar and battery installation.

You’ll need:

- Current NSW Electrical Licence (or nearing completion of your apprenticeship)
- Willingness to work toward SAA accreditation
- Some exposure to residential electrical or solar work (not essential — training provided)
- A basic understanding of electrical safety
- A good attitude and willingness to learn
- The ability to follow instructions and work well in a team
- Reliability and a decent work ethic

Most importantly, you need to want to learn the trade properly and be part of a crew that does positive work.

WHY JOIN SJ POWER?

We want good people to build long-term careers with us.

You can expect:

- $40-60/ hour based on experience
- Steady, consistent solar and battery installation work
- Structured pay reviews as you build your skills
- On-the-job training and support from experienced tradespeople
- A clear path to grow into more senior roles over time
- A team that values accountability, quality workmanship and getting the job done properly
