This is a hands-on, autonomous role where you’ll oversee everything from setup and planning to installations, admin, finances, and ongoing maintenance.

• Compliance: Issue Certificates of Compliance (COCs) and stay updated with evolving standards and best practices.
• Customer Engagement: Communicate technical details clearly to tenants and provide ongoing support and advice.
• Admin & Reporting: Generate quotes, maintain accurate records for invoicing, and oversee project finances and procurement.
• Collaboration: Work alongside property and project teams to deliver solar projects on time and on budget.
• Health & Safety: Maintain a strong safety-first approach at all times.

What You’ll Bring:

• Certifications:
• EWRB registration and current practicing license with Mains Parallel Generation Systems endorsement
• Up-to-date safety certifications (working at heights, confined spaces, etc.)
• Full, clean NZ driver’s licence
• Experience & Skills:

• Strong technical fault-finding skills
• Solid management or leadership experience in energy or construction industries
• Effective communicator with great customer service skills

• Have a sharp eye for detail and excellent problem-solving skills
• Can travel occasionally (1–2 days at a time)
• Don’t mind after-hours work when required
• Have a high level of professionalism and take pride in your work
• Are a NZ citizen or permanent resident
