Group Financial Controller Head of Finance
We're a WA-owned group of businesses that's grown from a single solar company into a multi-entity enterprise with big ambitions.
Perth Solar Force – one of WA's largest and most recognised solar retailers, completing thousands of installs every year across residential and commercial projects.
Known for our scale, reputation and quality, we're a market leader in WA's renewable energy sector.
Solartech Distribution – our wholesale and logistics arm, supplying panels, inverters, and batteries to retailers and installers across WA.
With multiple warehouses and a strong supplier network, we keep the industry moving with reliable stock and competitive pricing.
Unplugged Energy – a lean, fast-moving brand focused on solar and battery packages and innovative partnerships.
Built for agility, Unplugged explores new markets, products, and customer models, including collaborations with major WA organisations.
Aquasure – our newest venture, expanding into water filtration and home efficiency solutions.
Aquasure is positioned to bring the same growth trajectory we've achieved in solar into another essential market, giving households healthier, more sustainable living options.
Together, we employ around 100 staff, run multiple warehouses (Wangara HQ, Bunbury and Geraldton) and have delivered more than 30,000 solar installations to date.
We're not slowing down.
The WA battery rebate and Federal programs have created huge demand, scaling rapidly, doubling installation capacity, building new divisions, and investing in future industries.
Our long term vision is to grow 4–6 strong, dividend-paying businesses under our parent company, diversifying into energy, distribution, and home efficiency markets.
What sets us apart is our culture.
We're entrepreneurial, decisive and not afraid to do things differently.
We back our people, embrace new tech, and move quickly to stay ahead of the market.
Most of our team sits between 20 and 50 years old, with all three directors in their late 30s.
We move fast, talk straight and expect people to be comfortable making decisions and collaborating as a team.
Finance is the next big piece of the puzzle, which is why we're looking for a senior finance professional who can bring oversight, systems, and insight across the group and be a key part of our next growth phase.
