Trade Assistant - Solar and Battery

Company Description

At Zelora, we make home electrification simpler and more affordable. Backed by Bunnings and powered by Intellihub, our Australian-first subscription model for Solar & Battery helps households take control of their energy without the hassle, high stakes or big upfront cost.

We’re a young brand with strong backing and a clear ambition - become the name Australians turn to when they’re ready to electrify with solar, battery and everything else. That means our team is small, entrepeneurial, fast-moving and close to the work. Every person has real ownership of what we build and how we grow, whilst being supported by a positive, safe and productive workplace to thrive in.

We’re building a business, brand and culture from the ground up – and helping Australians confidently make the switch to renewable energy along the way.
