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:
As our People & Culture Advisor, you will play a foundational role in supporting SunDrive’s People & Culture function while ensuring our Kurnell office operates smoothly and professionally.
This role is suited to someone with 2–3 years’ HR experience who is ready to deepen their capability in a fast-moving, technical start-up environment. You’ll work closely with our Chief Performance Officer and partner with managers and employees across the full employee lifecycle — from onboarding and performance processes to employee relations and policy implementation.
In addition to HR coordination responsibilities, you’ll oversee core office operations and facilities management to ensure our site remains welcoming, organised, and well-supported.
This is a hands-on, high-exposure role offering real ownership, coaching, and the opportunity to build strong generalist HR foundations in a scaling industrial technology business.
