About the Role

We are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Grid Connections Specialist to join our growing team at Solar Battery Group.

The Grid Connections team plays a critical role in the delivery of residential solar and battery installations, coordinating grid approvals, regulatory registrations and government rebate processes to ensure every installation is completed compliantly and efficiently.

Working closely with electricity distributors, installers, customers and internal departments, you will oversee various stages of the grid connection process, from obtaining pre-installation approvals through to post-installation registrations and rebate submissions.

This is a diverse role that combines administration, technical problem-solving, regulatory compliance and stakeholder communication. It offers an excellent opportunity to develop specialist knowledge of Australia's electricity networks and the growing distributed energy sector.

Key Responsibilities

- Grid Connection Applications: Prepare and submit pre-approval applications to Distribution Network Service Providers (DNSPs), ensuring proposed solar and battery systems meet relevant network requirements.
- Post-Installation Registrations: Coordinate post-installation documentation and registrations, including Certificates of Electrical Safety (CES/CCEW) and Distributed Energy Resources (DER) registration.
- Government Rebate Processing: Facilitate federal and state-based solar and battery rebate applications, including STC and battery certificate submissions through accredited platforms,



and investigating application rejections.
- Compliance & Quality Assurance: Review installation documentation, technical information and photographic evidence to ensure applications and installations meet regulatory and rebate requirements.
- Stakeholder Communication: Liaise with customers and installers to obtain required documentation, clarify technical details and progress outstanding applications.
- Cross-Department Collaboration: Work closely with internal teams, including Client Services, Sales, Pre-Installation and Technical Support, to ensure jobs progress smoothly through the installation and registration lifecycle.
- Process Management: Manage multiple applications and priorities across allocated states and distributors, maintaining accuracy, efficiency and turnaround times.

About You We are looking for someone who is proactive, adaptable and enjoys working in a role where no two days are necessarily the same.

You will ideally demonstrate

- Solid organisational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and competing priorities.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with confidence engaging with customers,



installers and internal stakeholders.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with an interest in understanding technical requirements and resolving issues.
- The ability to work independently while contributing positively to a collaborative team environment.
- A proactive approach to identifying issues, taking ownership and following tasks through to completion.
- Confidence using computer systems and learning new software platforms.

Desirable Experience

- Previous experience in the solar, battery, electrical or renewable energy industry.
- Familiarity with electricity distributors (DNSPs), grid connection applications or distributed energy resources.
- Experience with government rebate schemes, STC certificates or regulatory compliance processes.
- Experience in administration, operations coordination, customer service or project support.
- Industry experience is advantageous but not essential. We are open to candidates with transferable skills and a genuine interest in developing their knowledge of the renewable energy industry.

What We Offer

- The opportunity to build specialist knowledge in Australia's growing renewable energy sector.
- Exposure to technical, regulatory and operational aspects of solar and battery installations.
- A supportive and collaborative team environment.
- Opportunities for professional development and career progression.
- The opportunity to contribute to the continued growth of renewable energy adoption across Australia.
