The best solar farm jobs in Australia are not short of applicants. They are short of places.
Good money, work that can count towards your 88 days, projects from Queensland to Western Australia: solar pulls in a lot of workers. That is the whole problem — everyone is trying to get in through the same door.
Companies hiring on the projects we work with
You can have the right CV and still be completely invisible.
On the usual job boards your CV lands in the same pile as dozens or hundreds of others. Meanwhile some workers already know a crew is being put together, they have the right contact, and they go straight to it.
On a solar farm, information is often worth more than a CV.
Which projects are starting, which contractor is really on site, how many workers they need and who runs the hiring: none of that sits in one place. Most of it still travels from worker to worker — on site, in the camp, over the phone.

You get the companies, the recruiters and the openings that come out of our agreements.
Recruitment agencies cost these companies money.
We save them money.
A traditional recruitment agency invoices the company for sending it candidates. Solar Jobs Australia works the other way around: we supply workers to solar companies without charging them a recruitment fee. That is why you are the one paying, and it is the whole of the answer.
That is what a company pays us to receive our candidates.
Why that changes everything
For a company, working with Solar Jobs Australia means receiving candidates without carrying an agency's fees.
That is precisely why companies work with us, sign agreements with us and hand us their hiring.
And on some projects they hand us all of it, exclusively.
