Over the past 18 years, we have served over 400,000 homeowners with an online quote comparison, and our website is used by over 1 million people each year. The Solar Choice Platform is supported by a network of over 400 of Australia’s best electrical contractors and our database of accurate quote and price data.

We’re now delivering a major consumer education campaign focused on household energy upgrades, including virtual power plants, home energy technology installation and the transition away from gas. This campaign will include articles, videos and practical consumer resources designed to help Australians better understand their options and act with confidence.

An exciting opportunity has become available for a Content Specialist to join Solar Choice and support the delivery of a funded national consumer education campaign.

This role will help produce a series of consumer-friendly articles and companion videos across key home energy topics. The campaign will cover areas such as virtual power plants, choosing installers, understanding batteries, getting off gas, home electrification and avoiding common pitfalls when upgrading household energy systems. You’ll work with Solar Choice’s marketing leadership, content team, subject matter experts and video production partners to turn complex topics into clear, engaging and practical content for everyday Australians.

This role also has the opportunity for front-of-camera presentation as a Solar Choice presenter, presenting a great opportunity for someone who wants to build their public profile in clean energy, consumer education or sustainability communications.

This is a 6-month fixed term role with an option to convert to a permanent position.
