IoT Smart Home Technology Installer and Fieldwork Technician (2 x Casual positions)

Updated: 15 days ago

Are you passionate about innovative IoT (Internet of Things) technology and eager to make an impact in energy efficiency? CSIRO’s ‘Building Energy Efficiency’ Team is looking for two enthusiastic Installers, based in Brisbane, to join an exciting large-scale project aimed at understanding how apartment dwellers use energy in their homes.

In this role, you will be a part of the Apartment Energy Behaviour Study (AEBS) , funded by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment, and Water (DCCEEW). The Project involves a series of long-term monitoring studies in apartments across Australia, at the single occupancy unit scale, to evaluate how closely the assumptions made by the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) about occupant behaviour match with real outcomes.

As part of this cutting-edge initiative, the Installers will be traveling around south-east Queensland installing into strata apartments, IoT devices that monitor the environment of the apartment (i.e., thermal comfort and air quality) and occupant behaviour. Each installation takes about one hour, and this role offers you a chance to contribute to meaningful work that will improve research on apartment energy efficiency and environmental comfort!

The IoT devices are small & discrete, and installation will be straight forward. However, you will receive comprehensive on-the-job training, tailored to ensure confidence in performing each installation, and whether you're looking for a deep dive into IoT technology or just the essentials, we provide the level of training you need to feel fully prepared and supported in your role. You will be working on an ad-hoc/as-needed basis, approximately working up to 25 hours per week, with guidance and oversight from the Project Leader.

If you have a keen interest in this field, with strong attention to detail, communication & time management skills, we would love to hear from you!
