Join RedEarth Energy Storage - powering Australia’s renewable future. Australia’s energy story is changing - fast. At RedEarth, we’re ensuring that change is built on safe, reliable, Australian-made energy storage. Our systems are designed, engineered, and manufactured right here in Brisbane. We help households and businesses take control of their power with smart, modular battery systems that just work.

Now, as we scale, we’re looking for a Senior Electrical Compliance & Technical Manager to lead the charge on safety, standards, and engineering excellence across our BESS platform. It’s about shaping how renewable energy is built, tested, and trusted – not just ticking boxes.

What you’ll take ownership of:

  • Leading RedEarth’s electrical compliance and certification across all products and installations
  • Translating complex standards (AS/NZS 3000, 5139, 4777, and others) into practical design and production guidance
  • Partnering with design, manufacturing, and field teams to ensure every system is safe, compliant, and beautifully engineered
  • Driving continuous improvement in quality systems and electrical design processes
  • Representing RedEarth in conversations with regulators, auditors, and technical bodies
  • Mentoring engineers and building deep internal capability in compliance and safety

What you bring:

  • Chartered or degree-qualified Electrical Engineer with strong compliance, testing, or certification experience
  • Deep understanding of electrical and safety standards for renewable or battery systems
  • Experience working at the interface of product design, compliance, and manufacturing
  • A systems thinker who’s as comfortable in standards documentation as you are on the factory floor or in the lab
  • A natural collaborator who lifts technical teams and champions best practice

Why join RedEarth:

Because we’re not just another energy company. We’re Australian-owned, design and build everything in-house, and our systems are already powering homes and businesses nationwide. You’ll join a team that’s passionate, pragmatic, and proud of doing hard things properly – engineers, makers, and innovators working on something that genuinely matters. We move fast, stay grounded, and care deeply about the quality of our work – and the impact it creates.

Seniority level: Mid-Senior level
Employment type: Full-time
Location: Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
