What will this job do to improve your life?
This is an opportunity for an experienced electrical professional to make the move from being predominantly field-based into a broader technical management role within renewable energy.You will work directly with the O&M; Manager, taking increasing ownership across a growing portfolio of operational solar, BESS and hybrid assets while still remaining close enough to the technical detail to add real value.Rather than looking for an established Asset Manager, we are looking for someone who has built their career through the tools, developed strong electrical and fault-finding capability, and is now ready to take the next step into leadership, planning, contractor management and wider operational responsibility.For someone currently working as a Senior Electrician, Electrical Supervisor, Lead Technician, Field Service Supervisor or similar who does not want to be on the tools forever, this provides a genuine pathway into O&M; and asset management without losing the technical side of your background.About the roleReporting directly to the O&M; Manager, you will support the operational management of a portfolio of solar, battery storage and hybrid renewable energy assets.The position sits between the field and the wider business.
You will help coordinate technicians and contractors, respond to faults and performance issues, plan maintenance activities, work with OEMs and suppliers, and communicate with clients and internal stakeholders.This is primarily an office-based position in Adelaide, although the environment is dynamic and there will be periods where site attendance is required depending on operational priorities.You will be joining a developing O&M; function where there is genuine scope to grow with the team.
The expectation is not that you arrive as the finished Portfolio Manager, but that you bring strong technical credibility, leadership potential and the ability to develop into broader operational and commercial responsibility over time.DutiesSupport the day-to-day operation of a portfolio of solar, BESS and hybrid renewable energy assetsLead and coordinate technicians, contractors and specialist service providersSupport fault investigations,

The strongest person will be someone who is adaptable, level‐headed and comfortable taking ownership rather than relying on a heavily layered management structure.They are not looking for someone who has already spent years operating as a corporate Asset Manager.
