About the Role

Service Stream is seeking an experienced and hands‑on Electrical Supervisor to lead our site‑based electrical workforce within a heavy industrial environment. This is an exciting opportunity for a proven leader who is passionate about safety, operational excellence, and developing high‑performing teams. Reporting to the Superintendent, you will play a critical role in providing both operational oversight and visible field leadership. While the role includes planning, coordination and administrative responsibilities, we are specifically seeking a leader who enjoys being in the field, engaging with crews, supporting safe work practices, and driving performance outcomes on site.

As the Electrical Supervisor, you will be responsible for leading a team of approximately 10-15 experienced electrical trades personnel, ensuring project and maintenance activities are delivered safely, efficiently, and to a high standard.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, supervise and support a team of 10-15 electrical trades personnel.
• Provide daily field leadership, direction and technical guidance to site crews.
• Promote and maintain a strong safety-first culture across all work activities.
• Ensure compliance with all Safety, Environmental and Quality requirements.
• Actively manage and support safe and environmentally responsible work practices.
• Ensure all activities comply with relevant legislation, regulations and duty of care obligations.
• Assist the Project Manager and Superintendent with workforce planning and labour allocation.
• Coach, mentor and develop employees to improve workforce capability, quality and safety awareness.
• Manage employee relations and team performance.
• Coordinate and oversee subcontracted work packages.
• Plan, schedule and supervise work activities to meet client and operational requirements.
• Liaise with internal stakeholders to optimise the use of labour, equipment and resources.
• Support the successful delivery of regional projects by working collaboratively with Business Managers and operational teams.
• Build and maintain strong client relationships while delivering exceptional service outcomes.

• The ability to balance office‑based planning and administration with a strong on‑site leadership presence.

What We’re Looking For

We are seeking a leader who leads from the front. Whilst this role includes office‑based responsibilities, a significant portion of your day will be spent in the field providing leadership, coaching and support to our site‑based electrical trades teams. You will be highly visible, approachable, safety‑focused and committed to achieving operational excellence through effective workforce leadership.
