A mining roster that gives you your life back.

Strong mining earnings, no nightshift, and a full week at home every fortnight. Plus a workplace where you’re treated like a person, not just another number on the roster.

Rapid Electrical Service is a local, family-owned Mackay business, here since 1959, and we’re looking for experienced mining electricians to join our permanent CHPP maintenance team across the Bowen Basin.

Work hard. Enjoy your week off. Come back to a team that knows your name.

THE WORKPLACE

Local and family-owned, with direct access to the owners and managers

A team where people are known, valued and supported

Upskilling, plus real career progression: our apprentices and electricians have moved into Leading Hand, Supervisor, Operations and management roles

IS THIS YOU?
You’re an experienced mining electrician who takes pride in doing the job properly. You’ll be a great fit if you:

Are reliable. You turn up, follow through and don’t need chasing.

Love solving problems. You enjoy tracking down a tricky fault, not just swapping parts.

Know fixed plant, or want to build your career in it.

Put safety first every shift and take the paperwork seriously.

Work well with others. You communicate clearly with your crew, supervisors and clients.

Are after a long-term home. You’re ready to stop chasing the next contract and grow with one team, maybe into a Leading Hand or Supervisor role down the track.

Value your time off. Whether it’s family, footy, fishing or travel, you want a roster that lets you enjoy life outside work.
