As the demand for renewable energy in Australia grows, so does the need for skilled professionals to install and maintain solar energy systems such as solar panels. But these talented people don’t grow on trees. At Think, we make it our mission to find only the best people for our team. We recruit not only those who are skilled and have the right expertise for the job, but also those who are passionate about the environment and the role they play in working for a cleaner, greener world. As you can imagine, finding this potent mix of passion and proficiency is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack. And that’s why we decided to call in the professionals. Why Finding the Right People Matters Renewable energy isn't just another industry. It's a dynamic sector that’s fast shaping the future of our planet. That’s why we need individuals who understand the intricacies of solar, battery, EV chargers, heat pumps, and other renewable technologies. But technical expertise is just one piece of the puzzle. We want to hire people who are driven by a genuine desire to make a difference. When recruiting for our team, we look for people who are: Innovative and Efficient: The renewable energy sector is constantly evolving. We need team members who are curious, creative problem-solvers who can push boundaries and develop cutting-edge solutions. Customer-Focused: At the heart of everything we do lies a commitment to our customers. We need individuals who are passionate about providing exceptional service, ensuring every customer feels empowered and supported on their renewable energy journey. Knowledgeable: A deep understanding of the regulatory landscape, technological advancements, and market trends is crucial for navigating the complexities of renewable energy. Building a Team That's Passionate About the Cause In the renewable energy sector, customer-centricity is so important. Technical skills can be learned, but passion for a cause and a desire to help people are qualities that come naturally to the right person. Our commitment to putting customers first drives every decision we make, and this ethos begins with our team. By ensuring that each member shares our values and commitment to excellence, we can guarantee that our customers receive nothing but the best—whether it's in the form of cutting-edge technology, impeccable service, or expert advice. We’re proud that our team now consists of more than 40 like-minded individuals that show up every day with a passion for making a difference. But we didn’t get there alone.
