3 days ago

Perth, Western Australia Hays Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

Your new company

This innovative clean energy provider is empowering households to take control of their power. With thousands of solar-battery systems already installed and rapid growth underway, the business is scaling up its installation operations and setting new benchmarks for safety, quality, and delivery across Western Australia.

Your new role

Step into a high-impact leadership position where you'll drive the full lifecycle of residential solar-and-battery installations—from site readiness to final handover. You'll lead skilled teams and trusted subcontractors, enforce top-tier safety and compliance standards, and ensure every install is delivered on time, to spec, and with audit-ready documentation. With a strong focus on continuous improvement, technical excellence, and customer satisfaction, this role offers the chance to shape operations in a fast-growing clean energy business.

  • Lead end-to-end field operations: from site readiness through installation, commissioning, grid connection, and final handover
  • Champion safety and compliance, ensuring adherence to WHS protocols and relevant electrical standards and regulations
  • Oversee accurate and timely completion of compliance documentation, including test records and safety certificates
  • Manage scheduling, workforce planning, and daily run sheets across internal teams and subcontractors
  • Coordinate inventory, logistics, and supplier relationships to meet delivery targets
  • Ensure data accuracy across CRM and job management platforms
  • Recruit, train, and lead electricians, apprentices, and support staff; conduct toolbox talks and field audits
  • Set clear expectations and performance standards for subcontractors, including scopes, SLAs, and safety requirements
  • Resolve technical escalations and provide Tier-2 support to customer service teams
  • Collaborate with engineering and tech teams to ensure installations are ready for virtual power plant integration
  • Drive continuous improvement across install cycle time, first-time pass rates, rework reduction, and cost efficiency

What you'll need to succeed

  • Qualified Electrical Engineer or Licensed Electrician with proven leadership experience
  • Strong background in field operations—ideally in solar, battery, energy, or similar service industries
  • Skilled in project management, scheduling, contractor oversight, stakeholder engagement, and budgeting
  • Confident using CRM and job management platforms (experience with HubSpot is a plus)
  • Practical, calm leadership style with high ownership and attention to detail
  • Familiarity with leading OEMs in the solar/battery space
  • Experience scaling multi-crew operations across metro and regional areas
  • Deep understanding of WA's regulatory landscape and utility provider processes
  • Comfortable working with AS/NZS standards and compliance documentation

What you'll get in return

  • Make a real impact in the clean energy space
  • Lead a skilled team with strong technical support
  • Enjoy a supportive culture, competitive pay, the right tools, and a clear path to grow in a fast-moving business
