Oakcrest has established a strong reputation across Central Queensland for delivering high-quality electrical services to residential, commercial and construction clients. The business has a strong commitment to reliability, professionalism, strong customer relationships and exceptional workmanship.

Oakcrest is investing in the next layer of leadership through the creation of a dedicated Electrical Supervisor position. This role will play a critical part in supporting the future growth of the business, strengthening operational performance and helping build the future leadership capability of the organisation.

The Opportunity

This is more than a traditional supervisory role.

• Supporting apprentice development and mentoring team members.
• Acting as the key operational point of contact for routine field-related issues.

The successful candidate will help create the operational capacity needed to support Oakcrest's continued growth, while reducing the day-to-day reliance on the Managing Director for routine operational decisions.
