Our reputation is built on quality, reliability, and strong long-term relationships with employees, builders, suppliers, and subcontractors.

  • Provide input into procurement, equipment selection, and project specifications.
  • Support project teams with commissioning, testing, and quality assurance processes.
  • Contribute to sustainability and Green Star submissions where required.
  • Monitor technical aspects during construction to ensure systems are delivered as designed.
What We Offer
  • A collaborative and motivated team environment.
  • Exposure to some of Queensland's largest and most exciting projects.
  • Long-term career development with opportunities to broaden design and construction experience.
  • Competitive remuneration above industry standards.

Your Qualities
  • Strong technical knowledge of electrical systems in construction (power, lighting, communications, distribution).
  • Comprehensive understanding of all relevant Australian Standards, legislation, and industry codes, with the ability to apply them to design and construction.
  • Ability to apply engineering fundamentals to practical, buildable solutions.
  • Excellent organisational and problem-solving skills.
  • Confident communicator and effective collaborator with multidisciplinary teams.
  • Detail-focused with a strong commitment to quality and safety.

Criteria
  • Tertiary Qualification in Electrical Engineering (Engineers Australia recognised).
  • Minimum 2 years' experience in electrical engineering, preferably within contracting or project delivery.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office; AutoCAD/Revit experience desirable but not essential.
  • Current open driver's licence.

How to Apply

If you are passionate about electrical engineering and want to work on projects where design and construction come together, we want to hear from you.

Please submit your CV and cover letter outlining your qualifications and experience. Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted.

At S.D.F Electrical, we value diversity and inclusivity and encourage applications from all backgrounds. Join us and be part of a company where good work and good people come together to deliver great outcomes.
