• Ensuring works comply with Australian Standards, statutory requirements, specifications, drawings and site procedures.
• Monitoring contractor performance, workmanship, safety, quality and progress.
• Coordinating works between contractors, engineers, project managers and site stakeholders.
• Supporting smaller electrical projects from planning and scope through to commissioning and handover.
• Assisting with scheduling, cost control, risk management, contract administration and site inspections.
• Reviewing technical documentation, identifying construction issues and maintaining accurate project reporting.

To be considered for this opportunity, you will have:

• Australian Citizenship.
• Electrical trade qualification and current electrical licence.
• Current White Card.
• Strong experience supervising electrical contractors and site-based electrical works.
• Sound knowledge of Australian electrical standards, codes and statutory requirements.

• Ability to interpret electrical drawings, specifications and technical documentation.
• Current or recently completed Low Voltage Rescue (LVR), CPR and First Aid training, or the ability to obtain and maintain these requirements.
