Job description

Ready to be recognised for the leadership you are already providing?

If you are an experienced air-conditioning installer who is already running jobs, solving technical problems and guiding other installers on site, it may be time to be properly recognised and rewarded for it.

Waratah Air-Conditioning Services is looking for an experienced installer to step into an Installation Supervisor role with genuine responsibility, strong operational support and the opportunity to help shape the way our installation team operates.

This is not simply another installer position with a different title. You will take ownership of installation projects, coordinate the team on site, maintain our quality standards and ensure each job is completed safely, professionally and efficiently.

You will remain involved in installation work when your technical experience is required, but your primary focus will be leading the team and ensuring jobs are properly planned, coordinated and completed.

Why consider joining Waratah Air?

We understand that the right person for this position is probably already employed. That is why we are offering a genuine opportunity to progress into a respected supervisory role within an established and supportive business.

You will receive:

• Attractive starting salary package of $98,800++ plus super
• Company vehicle with fuel card and Etag
• Mobile phone and uniform supplied
• A genuine supervisory role with the authority to lead projects properly
• Support from an experienced management and office team
• A stable pipeline of installation work
• Monthly training and professional development
• Long-term career progression within an established company
• The opportunity to contribute ideas and improve installation procedures
• A workplace where experienced tradespeople are trusted, supported and valued
• Secure, permanent, full-time employment
• Primarily Shire-based work to avoid city commuting and traffic – local start and finish locations

About the role

As our Installation Supervisor, you will be responsible for overseeing air-conditioning installation projects from commencement through to completion.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supervising residential and light commercial air-conditioning installations
• Leading installers, apprentices and subcontractors on site
• Planning labour, materials and daily installation activities
• Reviewing plans, specifications and site requirements before work commences
• Ensuring installations are completed to Waratah Air’s workmanship standards
• Monitoring job progress and keeping projects on schedule
• Identifying installation issues early and implementing practical solutions
• Coordinating with customers, builders, suppliers, other trades and our office team
• Ensuring the team complies with safety, licensing and regulatory requirements
• Checking completed installations and associated documentation
• Providing technical guidance and on-the-job development to team members
• Maintaining a professional and organised worksite
• Remaining hands-on when your experience is required
• Reporting on job progress, variations, issues and completion

About you

You will be an experienced air-conditioning installer who takes pride in producing quality work and helping jobs run smoothly.

You may already hold a formal supervisory or leading-hand position, or you may be the senior installer others naturally turn to when they need guidance or a difficult problem resolved.

To be successful in this role, you will ideally have:

• Extensive air-conditioning installation experience
• Experience with a range of split, multi-split and ducted air-conditioning systems
• Previous supervisory, leading-hand or senior installer experience an advantage
• Strong technical knowledge and practical problem-solving ability
• The confidence to lead a team and make sound decisions on site
• The ability to plan labour, materials and installation activities
• High standards of workmanship, safety and presentation
• The ability to read plans, technical specifications and wiring diagrams
• Clear and professional communication skills
• Good organisation and time-management skills
• The ability to communicate professionally with customers and other trades
• A current driver’s licence and white card
• Relevant air-conditioning, refrigeration and electrical qualifications or licences
• A commitment to developing apprentices and less‑experienced installers

Most importantly, you will be someone who takes ownership of their work, supports the people around them and wants to be part of a professional team.
