What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my technical skills in renewable energy while fostering growth and innovation in a collaborative environment.

I am a Class 1 Trade Tested Electrician with over 6 years of hands-on experience in the electrical and PV renewable energy industry. Currently, I lead the technical department at Alpha ESS, where I manage a team focused on troubleshooting, repairing, and upgrading systems. My role involves not only technical expertise but also building lasting relationships with clients through effective communication and support.

In my previous positions, I have honed my skills in maintenance and installation, working with high voltage systems and various electrical components. I am currently pursuing an Advanced Diploma in Renewable Energy, which complements my practical experience and enhances my ability to contribute to innovative solutions in the field. I take pride in my ability to train and supervise others, ensuring that safety and quality standards are met consistently.
