Apprentice Electrician | Solar Career Growth

Why this opportunity matters?

The way New Zealand uses energy is changing. Power prices are rising. The grid is under pressure.

Solar, battery storage, EV charging, and backup power are moving from optional upgrades to practical infrastructure for modern homes and businesses.

Garden City Solar is growing with the surging demand for renewable energy systems — known for premium installations, high standards, and a reputation for doing things properly.

We're looking for an apprentice electrician who wants to be part of a future-focused industry and join a company with strong momentum.

What We Offer

• Everyday healthcare cover (GP, dental, eye care)
• Paid birthday leave
• Ongoing paid training and upskilling
• Small, high-performing team where your contribution matters
• Long-term career growth in a fast-growing sector

The role

You’ll work across a range of premium residential and commercial renewable energy projects throughout Canterbury, including:

• Solar PV installations
• Battery storage systems
• EV charger installations
• Backup and hybrid power systems
• Fault finding, servicing, and upgrades

This is varied, hands-on work in one of the most exciting growth areas of the electrical trade.

What we’re looking for

• You’re an apprentice electrician
• New Zealand certificate in electrical pre-trade completed
• Strong technical ability and attention to detail
• Pride in workmanship
• Good communication skills
• Reliable and self-motivated
• Safety conscious + comfortable working at heights

Previous solar experience is an advantage but not essential. We can provide training for the right person.

Why Join Garden City Solar?

You’ll join a respected Christchurch team building a reputation for quality while gaining valuable experience in a sector with a big future.
