Our client is an electrical contracting business delivering installation, maintenance, testing, commissioning and fault rectification work across South-East Queensland and into New South Wales.

Operating from Clontarf, they run tight site crews with apprentices coming through the ranks. It is a hands-on, no-nonsense team where good workmanship, straight communication and looking after the customer count for more than anything else.

• Carrying out installation, maintenance, testing, commissioning, fault-finding and rectification work to standard
• Reviewing drawings, specifications, scopes and material requirements, raising any discrepancies promptly
• Keeping accurate timesheets, job notes, test results, photos, variations and handover information
• Protecting safety, quality, programme and customer relationships on every site you run
• Working to WHS systems, client requirements and site rules as they apply

About You

The successful candidate will have:

• 3-5 years' experience as a qualified electrician
• Queensland Electrical Licence, Builder's White Card and manual driver's licence

If you are the sparky other trades listen to on site, the one who finds the fault, finishes it clean and brings the apprentice along while doing it, this is where that gets recognised.

Step up, run your own crew, and take your rate with you.
