  • Excellent hourly rate: $45.00 – $55.00 per hour (depending on skills and experience)
  • Regular hours + great finish: 38-hour week, with work finishing by 11 am on Fridays

  • Company-supplied vehicle: Fully serviced, fuel cards, maintenance—all provided
  • Travel compensation: When travel is required, you will be compensated for your time
  • Strong team culture: Friendly, supportive, collaborative—our people look out for one another
  • Varied & meaningful work: You'll work across commercial fit-out, maintenance, and construction jobs (no two days are identical)
  • Training & career growth: We support upskilling, licensure, and exposure to new systems/technologies
  • Safety & tools: You'll be well supported with all necessary safety gear, tools, and systems
  • Job stability: Steady workflow, repeat clients, strong pipeline of work

What You'll Do

In this role you will:

  • Perform commercial electrical installations, wiring, switchboards, power distribution, lighting, control systems
  • Carry out maintenance, fault-finding, repairs, upgrades
  • Read and interpret plans, electrical drawings, specifications
  • Work with site teams, coordinating with other trades and project managers
  • Ensure compliance with safety and quality standards
  • Occasionally travel to nearby regional or remote sites as required

What We're Looking For

To be considered, you should bring:

  • Fully qualified electrician licence (or equivalent recognised certificate)
  • Willingness to learn, no prior experience is required.
  • Strong fault-finding skills and ability to work independently
  • Good communication skills, strong work ethic, and a team-oriented mindset
  • Ability to reliably travel to project sites (within region)
  • Clean driver's licence

It's a plus (but not essential):

  • Experience with modern control systems, data, automation
  • Experience with night shifts, large-scale commercial projects
  • Previous exposure to remote or regional site work

Why Join Us (Why Apply)
  • Better work/life balance: Early Friday finish gives you time to recharge
  • Earn what you're worth: You won't be capped by low base pay
  • Join a real team: We value respect, collaboration, flexibility, and being fair
  • Grow with us: As Wave expands, there'll be opportunities for leadership, specialised roles, or supervisory positions
  • Be proud of your work: High standards, well-respected clients, quality outcomes
