About Us:

SunDrive is one of Australia's most exciting start-ups, operating in one of the world's most exciting spaces – renewable energy technology.

We are on a mission to unlock Solar's full potential by revolutionizing how solar cells are made, to unlock new heights of efficiency, cost, and sustainability.

Founded in 2015 by two UNSW roommates (Vince Allen - a PhD student in solar and David Hu – a former investment banker), we have come a long way from the breakthrough made in their garage to producing the world’s most efficient commercial-sized solar cell.

In 2022, we secured $21 million in our Series A funding round, and are backed by some of Australia’s top venture capital firms (Blackbird, Main Sequence, Virescent, and Mike Cannon-Brooke’s private investment fund, Grok), tech founders, a former Australian Prime Minister, and the Australian Government.

As our new Maintenance Supervisor, you will join us on a contractual basis for 3 months, 3 days a week. You will play a crucial role in supporting our advanced manufacturing and R&D teams, where you will gain exposure to cutting-edge solar technology and experience a hands-on, dynamic and innovative environment.

• Provide hands-on support to manufacturing and R&D teams in mechanical and electrical needs
• Perform maintenance and troubleshooting on equipment and experimental setups
• Rig machines and set up equipment as required for experiments and manufacturing processes
• Ensure compliance with safety protocols and regulations
• Assist in the installation and commissioning of new machines and R&D setups
• Collaborate with engineers and technicians to optimise processes and resolve technical issues

• 4+ years of experience in a service technician, mechanical fitter or maintenance role, ideally in a manufacturing environment
• Current Australian electrical license.
