Our customers include farmers, rural properties, caravanners, homeowners, and small businesses. The work is varied, hands-on, and focused on building systems that actually perform in the field.

The Role:

This is a technical, build-focused position. Your primary responsibility is to turn designs and concepts into clean, functional electrical systems, either as standard products or custom customer solutions.

Interpret wiring diagrams, schematics, and system layouts

Test and fault-find completed systems

Assist with custom builds and one-off customer solutions

Maintain workshop standards, tools, and build documentation

Support commissioning work when required

Maintain currency with Australian electrical standards and relevant regulations, and apply them to all builds and installations

Provide practical feedback to improve standard builds and product designs

What You Bring:

Trade qualification as an Electrical Fitter, Switchboard Mechanic, or Automotive Electrician

Solid experience assembling and wiring electrical panels or systems

Comfortable working with low-voltage AC and DC systems

Ability to read schematics and work independently from drawings

Practical, problem-solving mindset with strong fault-finding skills

High attention to detail and pride in neat, safe workmanship

Current Australian driver’s licence

Experience with solar, batteries, off-grid systems, or pumps is highly regarded but not essential

Why Join Us?

Workshop-focused role building complete, real-world systems

Stable, full-time position

Progression based on skills and contribution

Exposure to modern off-grid, battery, and renewable technologies

Variety of work without long-term construction site placements

Opportunity to grow with the business as it scales

Who Should Apply?

Ideal for electrical fitters, switchboard mechanics, or electricians who enjoy system assembly, want variety without constant site work, and are interested in renewables and off-grid technology. Also suited to tradies who like building things properly and seeing them leave the workshop complete and tested.
