Casual / Contractor Trades Assistant – Electronic Security

Ad-Hoc Work | Flexible Hours | Brisbane & Surrounding Areas

Ray Turner Technologies is a “One Man Band” electronic security company based in Forest Lake, servicing Brisbane, Ipswich, the Gold Coast and surrounding areas.

We install professional CCTV, alarm systems, intercoms, access control and electronic security systems across residential, commercial and construction projects.

We are looking for a reliable and experienced Trades Assistant / Contractor to assist on an ad-hoc, as-required basis.

This is NOT a full-time position.

Work is genuinely casual and project-based, with hours varying depending on our workload. Some weeks there may be work available and other weeks there may be little or no work.

We are particularly interested in someone who:

Already has other employment or commitments

Is a semi-retired tradesperson looking for occasional work

Is a subcontractor looking for additional/fill-in work

Is an experienced Trades Assistant who wants flexible additional hours

Wants occasional work rather than guaranteed full-time hours

If you are looking for 30–40 hours every week, this position is probably not suitable for you.

The Role

You will assist with electronic security installations throughout Brisbane and surrounding areas.

Typical work includes:

Running and installing security cabling

Assisting with installations

Mounting cameras, detectors, readers and other equipment

Using hand tools and battery-operated tools

Drilling and fixing equipment

Assisting with testing and commissioning

General trade and construction assistance

Keeping the work area clean and organised

The Type of Person We Want

We are looking for someone who can turn up to a job, get stuck into the work and get the job done properly.

You don't need to be a security technician — we can show you the security-specific side of the work.

However, you do need to already have a good understanding of trade/construction work and be comfortable working with tools.

Reliability is extremely important to us.

If you say you are available for a particular job, we need to be able to rely on you being there.

Genuinely flexible, ad-hoc work

Work around your existing commitments

Above-award rates for the right person
