About SAE Group

Established in 2010, SAE Group is an Australian owned and operated company providing energy efficient solutions to homes and businesses. We are one of the largest solar installers in the country, working across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Ballina, Coffs Harbour, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.

Our values are Safety, Adaptability, Environment, Integrity and Quality.

One fleet. Your workshop. Done properly.

Our installers rely on their vehicles to get to every job, and our civil works crews rely on their machinery to get the job done. Keeping all of it running is where you come in.

This is an in house role, so there is no queue of customer vehicles and no pressure to rush a job out the door. You will look after our own vans, car, trucks, utes, and heavy machinery, get to know every unit, and have the time to do the work properly.

You will also own the planning side. You will book the services in with our teams, work around their schedules, and keep the paperwork in order, so maintenance runs smoothly from start to finish. Your work keeps our crews safe and our projects moving.
