Maitland, Newcastle & the Hunter Valley

Full-time | Above-award wages | Four-day week available

Great work. Good people. A week that works for you.

Are you an experienced Air Conditioning Technician who takes pride in doing the job properly?

Perhaps you’re ready for a workplace where quality matters, the team supports one another, and your contribution is genuinely valued. Or maybe you’re a third- or fourth-year apprentice looking for the right team to help you finish your trade and build a rewarding career.

At Level Electrical & Air Maitland, we’ve built a strong reputation for standout air conditioning solutions across Maitland, Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. We’re growing and looking for a capable, customer-focused technician to join our team.

You’ll work across a varied mix of residential, commercial and industrial sites, carrying out installations, servicing, fault-finding and repairs. No two days will be exactly the same - and you’ll have the opportunity to use your technical skills, solve real problems and deliver work you’re proud to put your name to.

Why join Level Electrical & Air Maitland?

• Above-award wages
• Four-day working week available
• Varied installation, service and repair work
• A respected local business with a reputation for quality
• Supportive, professional team environment
• Opportunities to share your knowledge and mentor apprentices
• Modern digital systems that make job reporting and documentation easier
• Long-term opportunity with a growing business
• Work across Maitland, Newcastle and the Hunter Valley

What you’ll be doing

In this hands-on role, you will:

• Install, maintain and repair air conditioning and heat pump systems
• Work across residential, commercial and industrial sites
• Diagnose HVAC faults using gauges, thermometers and other diagnostic tools
• Read and interpret mechanical, electrical and refrigeration schematics
• Complete work safely, neatly and in line with Australian standards
• Explain faults, recommended solutions and service costs clearly to customers
• Identify out-of-scope work requiring a variation or quotation
• Collaborate with other technicians and trades on project installations
• Maintain accurate job records, timesheets and photo documentation using field-based software
• Organise job-specific materials through preferred suppliers

• A sound understanding of refrigeration, electrical and safety standards

• The ability to work independently and contribute to a team
• Pride in delivering reliable, high-quality workmanship
• Confidence using digital job-management tools, or the willingness to learn
• A current Police Check and Working with Children Check, or willingness to obtain them

A dual air conditioning and electrical trade qualification will be highly regarded, but it isn’t essential.

Third-and fourth-year apprentices are also encouraged to apply.

You’ll fit right in if you…

• Take ownership of your work
• Prefer doing things properly the first time
• Keep customers informed and treat their property with respect
