Careers at Evergen
@Evergen’s mission is to orchestrate >10GW of distributed energy assets across the globe
Our team is an amazing mix of some of the smartest, curious and most diverse people from all over the world working together to speed up the transition to renewables.
Yep, it’s a huge goal, but this year we’ve become the leaders in what we do.
Working at Evergen
If you believe the industry needs to guide the governments slow-moving hand toward a renewable future and you want to be part of leading the future whilst building a leading tech company then we should talk. 😍
Other than that, there are a few other awesome benefits you will receive when working at Evergen.
We work flexibly
Like seriously, on a boat, at your home, while your kids are napping, or at one of our offices in Sydney or Newcastle HQ! Our Newcastle office is right on the beach!
Bring your fur babies to work
We love animals and allow anyone to bring their 🐶 or cat to work. If you’re in Newcastle we have an amazing park right beside us for that reason. Yep, we are on the beach and the park, watching the coal ships cruise by every day!
Evergen is pro performance & people
We are re-architecting a better sustainable energy future for everyone on the planet, to do this we need highly driven people from all walks of life to help. No matter your background, ethnicity, gender or education. If you are driven, sharp as a tack, and literally want to change the world we would love to have you!
The best kit
We are self confessed tech nerds so we kit you out with the new MacBook pros, Steel Series headphones, screens, electric standing desks (in Newy/Sydney), the best high-back chairs, and anything else you need to be at your best. You wouldn’t give Picasso crayons to paint a masterpiece after all!
No micromanagers
We use the coolest tools for project management like Asana, Hubspot, Airtable, Notion, Slack & Loom to ensure we have well set out projects with dedicated project owners which puts an end to micro managing and creates awesome transparency, empowerment and accountability.
Embrace failure
Our team have advised, built and worked in lots of start ups, none more compelling than this. When you’re building something complex or huge (Evergen is both 😀 ), failures along the way are par for the course. We take our learnings and work together to fix things in an amazing blameless culture.
We automate the sh%* bits
Have you ever thought, “my job would be so much better if I could just do XYZ”? We have a team of people that solve XYZ for you. We focus our time on making sure your time is spent on the best activities, regardless of role.
Dress to impress... yourself
We don’t care what you wear. As change makers we embrace the different and want you to “do you”. We also provide you with premium Evergen swag – hats, tees and much more 💃 .
Get it done
Leave politics at the door and focus on results. We use Objectives and Key Results internally to set goals as a team every quarter and then work together across departments (which we call “squads”) to smash those goals.
Birthday month
At Evergen we give you a day off for your Birthday which can be redeemed any time you like within the month of your birthday, so you can spend time with your family, your friends or even in the wilderness.
Awesome investors
If you have worked in a start up before you will know that your investors can define how well your company does. We have some of the world’s largest infrastructure investors and professional venture capital firms that have invested billions of dollars (between them). Are we their favourite portfolio company? Yes, we think so! 😇
Balance is beautiful
We’re a high-performance team but recognise the importance of everyone’s own work-life balance. That’s reflected in our value of ‘Pull together, keep at it’. No matter what’s going on at work, or at home, we support each other through the companies growth. We believe that work-life balance means we work better, faster, smarter – and happier – overall.

Expressions of Interest
Evergen basics
Imagine you have a battery (about the size of a dishwasher) at your home which is plugged into your rooftop solar system. You had the battery installed so that you can store any solar power you generated throughout the day that you didn’t or couldn’t use (commonly referred to as a sponge for excess solar).
We have established that you’re super smart and have a solar battery system to store excess solar power and can use that power at night. Now, imagine it’s been super sunny every day because, well, it’s Australia, and as a result you now have a pretty full battery most of the time.
Now let’s imagine there are 100’s of people whose job it is to make sure lights stay on at night, and they do this by essentially turning small pockets of power all over the country off when power demands rapidly increase (say at 6pm, lights, air conditioning and cooktops come alive). These 100’s of people are referred to as “grid operators” and they literally work hard to keep the 💡 on.
Finally, imagine that the grid operators would pay you to send your excess battery power to the grid at high power demand times (like 6pm) to make sure they have extra power to supply.
Picture this, 1000’s of homes all over Australia each with their own solar and battery system all working together to supply excess power into the grid 🥳..
Now imagine that this is real, right here, right now. And, that Evergen is the platform that automatically does this. What we do is power Virtual Power Plants (VPP’s for short).
Yep, pretty cool huh 🙏 Watch this quick clip for more.
