Building connections and understanding

We're committed to creating deep engagement with the communities in which we work and live.

Community engagement

Working with a range of partners throughout Australia and the world, we support initiatives that drive positive change for youth, remote and Indigenous communities, and our local environment.

Diversity & inclusion

5B is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer. We have 26 nationalities represented across 5B and 27.3% gender diversity across our permanent workforce.

We also believe it's important to have fun while working hard. 5Beings get an extra leave day to take their birthday off. We also have a wide range of social clubs and events.

Graduates & interns

We're an active graduate employer. Nearly 2% of our workforce are interns, most from diverse cultural backgrounds. We are proud sponsors of the UNSW Co-Op Program and have onboarded academic students with a passion in renewables to learn from our very best engineers over the last few years.

Borroloola Community Solar Farm, Australia

A 653 kWp 5B Maverick solar system was installed at Borroloola in July of 2018, integrated with existing diesel gen-sets. Roughly 25% of the community's power is now produced using solar energy, significantly reducing running costs to PWC.

5B Maverick's prefabricated system has streamlined and simplified deployment in this remote community, limiting labour time in its harsh conditions. The ballasted system has survived 2 cyclones to date - cyclone Trevor and cyclone Owen with wind gusts in the order of 39 m/s.
