Job description

Field Service Technician - Critical Power

We are recruiting Field Service Technicians to join a leading organisation within the critical power and electrical infrastructure sector in Melbourne.

Working predominantly in the field, you will support customers across data centres, commercial facilities and other critical infrastructure environments. You'll be responsible for the commissioning, testing, servicing and maintenance of critical power equipment once it has been installed.

Key Responsibilities

• Commission, service and maintain critical power equipment
• Perform preventative and corrective maintenance
• Diagnose electrical faults and complete technical repairs
• Work across equipment including UPS, Static Transfer Switches (STS), Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) and 48V DC power systems
• Conduct Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT)
• Support commissioning and testing activities across customer sites
• Complete service reports and technical documentation
• Liaise with customers, project teams and electrical contractors
• Provide technical support where required
• Participate in an on-call roster and respond to emergency service requirements
• Maintain high standards of safety, compliance and site protocols

About You

You will be a qualified electrician with a background in industrial or technically complex electrical environments.

Ideally, you'll bring experience in the following:

• UPS and critical power systems
• Industrial electrical maintenance
• Power generation
• Power distribution
• Battery and DC power systems
• Data centres or critical infrastructure
• Server racks and associated power equipment
• MV or HV electrical environments

More importantly, you'll be safety-focused, technically capable and comfortable working independently in the field. This is an environment where procedures and safety protocols matter, so we're looking for people who take pride in doing things properly.

What’s On Offer

• $90,000 – $110,000 base + super, depending on experience
• 8% bonus opportunity
• Fully serviced Ford Ranger
• Tools, equipment and uniforms provided
• Paid travel time
• On-call allowances
• Overtime when called out
• Technical and on-the-job training
• Exposure to major data centre and critical infrastructure projects
• Long-term opportunity to specialise within critical power

Location & Travel

This is a field-based Melbourne position , rather than a role where you'll be expected to spend every day in an office.

The main customer locations are across Tullamarine, Truganina, Port Melbourne and Geelong, with the office based in the southeast of Melbourne primarily used for training and induction.

Travel time is paid as standard. There may also be occasional interstate travel depending on project requirements, but the position is predominantly focused on servicing the Victorian market.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

For an experienced UPS technician, this is an opportunity to work across complex critical power environments and major projects while joining a business offering strong employment conditions and long-term career opportunities.

For an industrial electrician looking to move into UPS and critical power, it offers the chance to develop a genuine technical specialisation. You'll receive extensive on-the-job training while gaining exposure to sophisticated power systems and some of Melbourne's major data centre and critical infrastructure environments.
