Onboard and find new installers australia wide Identify capacity gaps early and recommend solutions such as onboarding additional crews or reallocating workloads. Maintain strong contractor relationships focused on performance, reliability, and quality outcomes. Monitor contractor performance metrics and address underperformance where required. 3. Internal Team Collaboration Work closely with the Tech Lead and Technical Team, clearly delineating responsibilities between technical delivery and operational oversight. Coordinate with design, scheduling, and customer teams to ensure smooth handover between sales, design, and install.
