Our Story

Josh Walker, owner of J T Walker Solar and Electrical grew up in the beautiful town of Gloucester located on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. He started his electrical career back in 2017 when he decided he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps and become an electrician. He began his apprenticeship working for an industrial manufacturing company in Gloucester but later decided he needed a change. And so, he made the decision move to Taree to be closer to his other half and gain more experience in the residential and commercial fields.

A few years after making the move over to the coast he decided he wanted to start his own electrical business in the hopes to provide affordable and reliable electrical services to everyone in the Mid North Coast region. So, on the 26th of September 2022, Josh had his first day working for himself and has been growing rapidly ever since. Josh now employs another two tradesmen, Liam and Ben, and an apprentice, Jett.

While the work continues so does his studies with Josh having now completed his Solar and Thermography accreditations as well as in the process of completing his Battery accreditation. He hopes that he will continue to gain more qualifications so that he is able to grow and provide the services that his customers need.
