Hey, Sparky! Yeah, you!

Sick of being just another cog in the electrical machine? Tired of wiring up the same boring boxes while your brain slowly melts? Ready to actually enjoy going to work?

Good. Because we’ve got something way better.

Welcome to our exceptional client – the innovators, the doers, the people who don’t just keep the lights on, they design the entire switchboard. And right now, they’re looking for an Industrial Electrician who’s wired for more than just pulling cables and looking busy when the boss walks by.

This isn’t your average “plug it in and leg it” role. You’ll be working with the big stuff—automation, control panels, industrial systems—the kind of gear that actually makes you think (and occasionally go “oooooh, shiny”).

YOUR NEW COMPANY

This crew is a leader in process design automation and control, and if you dream about switchboards, pump stations, or control panels (we won’t judge), you’re in the right place.

Their work spans some seriously cool sectors:
🥤 Food & Beverage
🚿 Water & Wastewater
🌱 Large-scale Irrigation Infrastructure

While other companies might do parts of the job, our client offers the whole shebang—from system design and installation to maintenance and full portfolio management. They’re the unicorns of turnkey solutions, basically. And they’ve spent the last 10 years investing in the most important asset of all—their people.

Think: epic projects, a genuinely supportive team, no ego, and plenty of chances to grow. Less corporate chaos, more career satisfaction.

YOUR NEW ROLE

• Installing, maintaining, and repairing industrial electrical systems
• Reading and interpreting schematics like an absolute legend
• Troubleshooting like you’ve got a sixth sense for faults
• Working hands-on with automation and control systems (aka: the cool tech)
• Teaming up with a crew that actually enjoys working together
• Keeping things compliant, clean, and most importantly—safe

WHO ARE YOU?

• Trade-qualified Industrial Electrician with experience in busy, hands-on environments
• You’ve worked in factories, plants, automation setups—you name it
• You know your way around a PLC (bonus points if you can teach one to dance)
• You’re sharp, reliable, and not afraid to get stuck in
• You’ve got a sense of humour and know how to handle a solid toolbox chat

THE GOOD STUFF

• $50 - $55ph + penalties + super (depending on experience and general awesomeness)
• Early starts, 10+ hour days, and heaps of overtime
• Ongoing permanent role with serious growth potential
• Variety of projects across SEQ—no two days the same
• Be part of industries that are growing faster than your morning coffee disappears
• Supportive team, cracking culture, and work you’ll actually want to brag about

If you’re amped up and ready to take your electrical career to the next voltage level, we want to hear from you.

Click Apply Now, or reach out to the legends at Spectra Recruitment – we’ll get you plugged into something seriously electrifying.

Spectra Recruitment – Not your average recruiters. Not your average jobs.
(And definitely not your average job ad.)

YOUR NEW COMPANY

Join a partner in process design automation and control. If you dream about Automation, Switchboards, Control Panels, Pump Stations AND prefabricated switchboards then you are probably reading the right job advert!

These guys are leading the Australian market and offer their expertise in several industries including food and beverage, water and wastewater plus large scale irrigation infrastructure. Whilst there may be many in their sector that do the same thing, our client offer a complete turnkey solution as well as project scoping, system design, procurement, installation, maintenance and portfolio management. Over the last 10 years they have invested heavily in their team exceeding expectations and delivering to their customers.  

Think exciting projects, a down-to-earth crew that’s big on collaboration, plenty of room to grow, and the chance to make a real impact — without the big-city stress. Work hard, learn heaps, and have a laugh along the way. 

Want to become a part of it? Then read on to see who you need to be. 

YOUR NEW ROLE

• Leading from the front on installs, maintenance, and breakdowns
• Reading schematics without needing to squint or swear (too much)
• Keeping jobs running smoothly and safely—no cowboy antics here
• Being the go-to for troubleshooting, mentoring, and dad-joke delivery
• Acting as the link between site, clients, and management—because you actually get what’s going on

WHO ARE YOU?

• Electrical trade qualification (QLD licence a bonus if you’ve got it)
• Experience in the industrial world—automation, factories, heavy gear
• Leadership skills that make people actually want to work with you
• Strong safety game—you’re the kind who wears PPE properly, not just when the boss shows up
• Bonus points if you’ve got PLC/control systems experience

YOUR REWARDS

• Work variety – New sites, new challenges, no boring rinse-and-repeat
• Solid pay – Because you’re good, and good people should be paid well 
• Career progression – Step up into PM or supervisory roles if that’s your jam
• Awesome team – Work with legends, not egos
• Backed by Spectra – We’re here to back you, not babysit you

If you're amped up and ready to spark a new chapter in your electrical career, we want to hear from you. Click Apply Now, or get in touch with our powerhouse recruitment team at Spectra Recruitment. We’ll get you plugged into something seriously electrifying.
