Potential to earn $182,000+ per year when consistently achieving KPIs
Melbourne's eastern suburbs | Full-time

ABOUT NEXT ELECTRICAL & DATA

Next Electrical & Data is a growing residential service and maintenance business helping homeowners across Melbourne's eastern suburbs.

Our work includes fault finding, switchboard and safety upgrades, lighting, power, EV chargers, CCTV, intercoms, data and general electrical improvements.

We are currently owner-operated, which means you won't disappear into a large crew or deal with layers of management. You'll work directly with the owner, receive hands-on support and have the opportunity to become a key part of the business as it grows.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for a qualified A-Grade Electrician with residential service and maintenance experience.

This role is ideal for someone who takes pride in their workmanship, communicates confidently with homeowners and wants to develop beyond purely technical electrical work.

You'll complete residential service calls, maintenance, fault finding, repairs, upgrades and installations while developing your customer-service, quoting and job-management skills.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Residential service calls, fault finding, repairs and maintenance
• Switchboard and electrical-safety upgrades
• Lighting, power and general electrical installations
• EV chargers, CCTV, intercoms and data work
• Explaining electrical issues and available solutions clearly to homeowners
• Identifying legitimate additional work that would improve the customer's safety, convenience or home
• Managing jobs professionally from arrival through to completion
• Working independently while following company systems and standards

WHAT'S ON OFFER

• $110,000 base salary plus super
• Performance-based bonuses and commission
• Potential total earnings of $182,000+ when consistently achieving KPIs
• Direct support, communication and coaching from the business owner
• The opportunity to become an early key employee in a growing company
• Development in customer communication, quoting and commercial skills
• Varied residential work across Melbourne's eastern suburbs
• Increasing responsibility and career progression as the business grows
• A straightforward working environment focused on quality, accountability and looking after the customer

PERFORMANCE AND EARNING POTENTIAL

This position rewards electricians who produce quality work, communicate professionally and consistently achieve agreed performance targets.

As an example, generating $80,000 per month in qualifying additional work could produce approximately $6,000 in commission for that month. If achieved consistently across 12 months, this would represent approximately $72,000 in additional annual earnings on top of the base salary.

This is genuine performance-based earning potential—not guaranteed income. The higher you perform against the agreed KPIs, the more you can earn.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• A current Victorian A-Grade Electrical Licence
• Unrestricted Australian working rights
• A current Australian driver's licence
• Residential service, maintenance, fault-finding and installation experience
• Strong safety awareness and pride in clean, compliant workmanship
• Clear, respectful communication and a customer-first attitude
• The confidence to explain findings and recommendations to homeowners
• The ability to work effectively without constant supervision
• A coachable attitude and willingness to follow systems
• Reliability, punctuality and personal accountability

WHO THIS ROLE WILL SUIT

You'll suit this role if you want more responsibility, direct coaching and the opportunity to help shape a growing service business.

We're looking for someone who is confident without being arrogant, open to feedback and motivated to improve.
