About Us
SunDrive is an Australian solar technology company turning world-leading science into real-world impact.
Founded in a Sydney garage in 2015, when our co-founder Vince Allen paused his PhD to pursue a bold idea, we set out to make solar more powerful, affordable, and sustainable. Today, that same drive fuels a company operating at the cutting edge of advanced manufacturing and materials science.
Our breakthrough solar cell technology replaces silver with industry-first direct copper plating: swapping one of the most expensive materials in solar for something abundant, cost-effective, and sustainable. We set a world record for solar cell efficiency in 2021 and built the world’s first fully automated copper-plating line at our Kurnell facility, proving scalability.
Backed by leading VCs and government agencies and punching above our weight in partnering with global PV partners, we’re now at the forefront of a generational shift in clean-energy manufacturing and driving industrial-scale deployment.
If you want to work somewhere ambitious, collaborative, and deeply technical, where science meets impact, we’d love to hear from you.
About the Role:
We are looking for a practical, organised, Office Manager to help keep SunDrive's deep tech R&D site in Kurnell running smoothly .
This is a 3-month, part-time, 3 days per week, fixed term contract role, to support our growing team. This is more than a purely administrative position. In a startup environment like ours, the Office Manager is the person who quietly makes a lot of things work from keeping the office stocked and functional, to coordinating travel, helping host visitors, and making sure new starters arrive to a workspace that’s ready to go.
You’ll work closely with the People & Culture team, executives, and our technical teams to keep the day-to-day running of the office simple and effective. Some days this means organising travel or coordinating suppliers. Other days it might mean setting up for a team lunch, preparing for a government visit, or solving a small operational problem before it becomes a big one.
This is a hands-on role suited to someone highly organised, proactive, and comfortable operating in a dynamic start-up environment where priorities can evolve quickly, someone who notices when something needs doing and just gets it sorted
You’ll play a key role in making sure the SunDrive team can focus on building and scaling world-leading solar technology while the workplace itself runs smoothly.
