• Good physical fitness
• Has experience using hand/power tools
• Ability to read/interpret drawings and instructions
• Solid electrical knowledge and skills
• Ability to work independently or as part of a team

• Assembly of electrical products
• Switchboard assembly
• Running conduits
• Testing cables and final products
• Relocating and installing data outlets
• Cable pulling and running
• Wiring

This is entirely indoor work, no outdoor or confined-space tasks are required.

On-the-job training will be provided. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who enjoys hands on work and thrives in a supportive team environment.
