- Assisting with commissioning, inspection and fault‑finding of transmission line assets
- Working collaboratively with crew members, subcontractors, supervisors and site stakeholders

**What we’re looking for**
- To be considered you should have:_
- A recognised trade qualification or relevant experience in transmission overhead lines work (e.g., Certificate III in ESI - Transmission Overhead, or equivalent)
- Demonstrated hands‑on experience working on overhead transmission lines (ideally above 66 kV or 132 kV) - conductor stringing, sagging, tower work, climbing, etc.
- Current White Card (Construction Induction) and relevant licences (e.g., HR/HC driver’s licence, EWP, dogging/rigging)
- Physical fitness and ability to work outdoors in varied weather, at heights, and potentially in remote/clear rural locations
- Strong commitment to safety, quality of workmanship, and teamwork
- Local residency or strong willingness to be based in the Hunter region

**What we offer**
- A meaningful long‑term role on a major green‑field transmission infrastructure project delivering high renewable‑capacity outcomes for NSW
- Competitive remuneration and allowances for specialist transmission lines work
- Structured induction and support within a professional infrastructure contractor committed to safety and development
- Opportunity to grow your career within GenusPlus and engage future transmission/distribution opportunities across Australia

**How to apply**
- A current resume outlining your relevant trade qualifications and transmission lines experience
- A short cover letter telling us:

- Your local connection to the Hunter / Central Coast region (or willingness to base locally)
