This is a vital role in helping us scale our solar operations while maintaining high standards of safety, quality and service.

- Identify installation constraints: Highlight potential installation challenges, health and safety considerations, and any remedial work required before installation.
- Collaboration: Work closely with design, sales, and installation teams to ensure survey information is complete, accurate, and actionable.
- Customer support: Support customers through the pre-installation stage by explaining proposed works and setting clear expectations.
- Timely & accurate reporting: Upload survey outputs accurately and on time to support quotation validation, installation planning, and compliance requirements.
- Continuous improvement: Identify opportunities to enhance survey standards, operational efficiency, and overall customer outcomes.
- Proactive mindset: Demonstrate a positive, proactive, and solution-focused approach in all aspects of the role.
