Eden, NSW | Permanent Full-Time | $40–$75 per hour + overtime | Training Provided
Are you a licensed electrician looking to build a career in one of the fastest-growing areas of the electrical industry?
We are looking for a motivated and reliable Licensed Electrician to join a specialist renewable energy team based in Eden, NSW, with projects travelling across Australia.
You don't need to already be an off-grid solar expert. What matters most is that you're a qualified electrician with a great attitude, strong work ethic and a genuine willingness to learn.

The Chance
This is a hands-on role where you'll work as part of a dedicated two-person installation team, gaining practical experience in the design, construction and installation of high-quality off-grid solar systems.
The role will generally be split between:

- Workshop-based electrical and solar system construction in Eden
- Travelling throughout Australia for installations
- Working alongside experienced off-grid solar electricians while you develop your skills
- Progressively taking on more responsibility as your competency and qualifications grow
- Working on projects ranging from smaller residential systems through to large commercial standalone solar installations

Systems are largely pre-built and tested in the workshop before being transported to site, meaning installation teams arrive with significant preparation already completed.

Main Duties
The successful candidate will work across both the Eden workshop and customer installation sites throughout Australia.

Workshop-Based Duties

- Build and assemble off-grid solar and battery systems in the workshop.
- Complete electrical wiring, connections, testing and fault-finding.
- Pre-build complete solar systems so they are fully tested and operational before leaving the workshop.
- Install and configure inverters, batteries, solar equipment, switchboards and associated electrical components.
- Read and interpret electrical drawings, system designs and installation plans.
- Test and commission systems to ensure they are safe, compliant and operating correctly.
- Prepare equipment, materials and tools for upcoming installation projects.
- Assist with loading, transport and preparation of equipment for site installations.
- Maintain a clean, organised and safe workshop environment.
- Identify and resolve electrical or equipment issues before systems are transported to site.
- Work closely with the wider workshop and installation team to ensure projects are completed efficiently and to a high standard.

Off-Grid Solar Installation Duties

- Travel to customer sites throughout Australia to install standalone solar and battery systems.
- Work as part of a dedicated two-person installation team.
- Install solar panels, batteries, inverters, switchboards, cabling and associated equipment.




- Complete electrical connections and installation work in accordance with relevant Australian standards and regulations.
- Assist with site preparation, equipment positioning and system assembly.
- Carry out testing, commissioning and fault-finding on completed systems.
- Diagnose and rectify electrical and system issues on site.
- Work safely in a range of environments, including residential, rural and commercial locations.
- Liaise professionally with customers and other trades while on site.
- Maintain a high standard of workmanship, safety and attention to detail.
- Complete installation and project documentation as required.
- Progressively take on greater responsibility as experience, competency and additional solar/off-grid qualifications are gained.

Training & Career Development

- This is a genuine opportunity to specialise in off-grid solar.
- Full training and mentoring will be provided, including support to obtain the additional solar and off-grid qualifications required for the role.
- You'll initially work closely with an experienced qualified off-grid solar electrician, with responsibility increasing as your skills and competency develop.
- The long-term goal is to build you into a highly capable off-grid solar installer who can confidently undertake projects throughout Australia.

Work & Lifestyle

- The role offers a genuinely different work/life arrangement.
- When based in Eden, you'll generally work a four-day week, giving you a three-day weekend.
- The work schedule will generally average around: 2 weeks in Eden / 2 weeks travelling
- There is flexibility around the days worked at home, depending on project requirements.
- When travelling, work-related travel, accommodation and meals are organised and paid for, so you aren't expected to carry the upfront cost of working away.
- There are also opportunities for overtime, with travel throughout Australia currently including projects across NSW, Victoria, South Australia and other locations as the business expands.

Salary & Benefits
Salary will be negotiable based on your qualifications, experience and capability.
As a guide:

- Developing/licensed electrician: approximately $40–$45 per hour
- Experienced and highly qualified electricians: significantly higher earning potential
- Candidates with strong solar/off-grid experience and additional tickets may command $55+ per hour in the workshop
- Work-away rates can reach approximately $75 per hour, depending on experience and project requirements
- Overtime available
- Work vehicle provided for work purposes




- Travel and accommodation organised and paid for
- Solar/off-grid training and development provided
- Opportunities to gain additional licences and accreditations
- Long-term career progression within a growing renewable energy business

About You

- Has a positive, team-focused attitude
- Is reliable, honest and has strong personal integrity
- Is physically capable of workshop and installation work
- Is comfortable travelling and spending significant periods away from home
- Is interested in developing a career in solar and renewable energy
- Is happy to learn new technology, systems and installation techniques
- Is willing to relocate to Eden, NSW, or is already based locally

Solar Experience – Great, But Not Essential

- Previous solar or off-grid experience is highly regarded, but it is not essential.

Candidates will be highly regarded with experience or accreditation in areas such as:

- Grid-connected solar
- Hybrid solar
- Battery systems

The more qualifications, tickets and relevant experience you bring, the greater the earning potential.

Why Join?

- The business has a strong focus on quality, safety, reliability and system longevity, with projects ranging from residential off-grid systems through to major commercial installations.
- The long-term vision is to grow the off-grid solar division and develop experienced internal installation teams rather than relying on subcontractors.
