• Hold a current EWRB Electrical Practising Licence
• Have commercial, industrial, infrastructure or solar electrical experience
• Be confident reading plans and working to specification
• Have a strong commitment to electrical and construction-site safety
• Be reliable and able to commit to the duration of the project
• Hold a Full Class 1 Driver Licence
• Site safe, EWP, WAH and First Aid qualifications would also be useful
• Have your own basic electrical hand tools
• Have the right to work in New Zealand

• Transport to and from site available from selected local collection points
• PPE provided
• The opportunity to gain utility-scale solar experience
• Work on a significant renewable-energy development
• Ongoing support from the Tradestaff team
• Potential opportunities across future energy and infrastructure projects
