RedEarth designs, engineers, and builds battery systems here in Brisbane. We support homes, businesses, and large C&I customers and build everything in-house.
Why this role matters
Australia’s energy system is shifting fast, and RedEarth builds its battery systems here in Brisbane. Our work helps homes and businesses use their own power and cut risk from the grid.
This role keeps our C&I battery systems safe, compliant, and practical in the field. You lead design integrity, electrical safety, and on-site decisions that shape how our systems run.

- Acting as RedEarth’s QTP, holding the company’s electrical licence (or working toward it)
- Partnering with R&D to develop, test, and refine new products and containerised systems
- Supporting major C&I projects from design to commissioning
What you bring
- Licensed electrician (unrestricted) with 10+ years’ experience
- Deep understanding of Australian electrical and safety standards (AS/NZS 3000, 5139, 4777)
- Hands on experience with batteries, solar, HV or LV installations
- Able to test live systems and make sound field decisions
- Comfortable guiding engineers, installers, and production teams
