Compensation range: $1,200 AUD - $1,500 AUD / Monthly

Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement

Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 9 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday) for collaboration, but as a contractor, you’ll have flexibility in how you manage your time.

Who We Are: At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. For this role, you will be engaged directly by the client as an independent contractor. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote so you'll be able to work from home.

Who The Client Is: Our client is an established Australian business specialising in residential solar and energy efficiency solutions. They help homeowners reduce energy costs and transition to more sustainable living through the installation of renewable energy systems and participation in government-supported energy programs.

You will work closely with the business owner and play a key role in ensuring customer enquiries, documentation, scheduling, compliance requirements, and operational processes are managed efficiently.
