Electrical Operations Manager
This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated electrical leader who is passionate about renewable energy, takes pride in delivering exceptional workmanship, and thrives in a busy, growing environment.
You’ll play a key role in overseeing our solar operations from design through to installation, ensuring every project is delivered safely, efficiently, on time and to the highest standard.
About the Role
As our Electrical Operations Manager, you’ll lead our solar installation team and oversee the day-to-day delivery of residential and commercial solar projects.
You’ll work closely with our sales, administration and installation teams, providing technical leadership, coordinating projects and ensuring an outstanding experience for our customers.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Leading, supporting and developing our solar installation team
- Designing residential and commercial solar systems using OpenSolar
- Reviewing quotations and system designs for accuracy, suitability and compliance
- Scheduling installations and managing project timelines
- Providing technical support to electricians, installers and apprentices

- Maintaining high health and safety standards across all projects
- Ensuring installations comply with New Zealand electrical regulations and industry standards

- Liaising with suppliers, electricity networks and other stakeholders
- Identifying and implementing opportunities for continuous improvement
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for an experienced electrical leader who can confidently manage a team, coordinate installations and solve technical challenges.
You may already have extensive solar experience, or you may come from a commercial electrical, HVAC, refrigeration, building services or similar technical environment and be ready to develop your solar expertise.
Strong leadership, electrical knowledge and project delivery experience are essential. Direct solar experience would be a significant advantage, but training and support can be provided to the right person.
