Job Description

We’re on the hunt for a top-notch HV Field Service Electrician or Electrical Engineer with solid protection relay testing and commissioning experience to join a crew that actually values your expertise (and shouts you a beer at the end of the month too). 

Your New Company

You’ll be jumping into a well-respected HV contractor working with Tier 1 & 2 clients across SEQ. These guys have a strong name in the game, keep the work pipeline steady, and know how to have a laugh while getting the job done right.

They’re big on quality work, safety, and looking after their people—with monthly beers and toolbox talks to keep everyone connected (and to swap a few fishing or footy yarns).

Your New Role

Based from Hemmant, you’ll head out to sites across SEQ for HV construction, maintenance, and testing projects.

But here’s the kicker:

We need your strong protection relay testing and commissioning expertise. You’ll be the go-to for relay testing, blank commissioning, and fault finding across a wide range of protection relays (including Omicron, SEL, Schneider, ABB, Siemens and similar devices), while also jumping in on installs, maintenance, and HV upgrades. 

Your days will include:

  • Protection relay testing & commissioning (a major part of this role)
  • HV system maintenance and fault finding
  • HV upgrades, installs, and testing
  • Working within a tight-knit, supportive team that gets sh*t done

Who Are You?

  • Licensed Electrician with HV experience OR Electrical Engineer with HV field service experience
  • Confident with protection relay testing, blank commissioning, and troubleshooting across various relay types
  • ETU member (or keen to sign up)
  • Take pride in safe, quality work
  • Enjoy a good team environment 

Your Rewards

  • $67–$70/hr + penalties (ETU rates) – negotiable based on your experience
  • Company vehicle for work use
  • Monthly beers & toolbox talks
  • Home most nights (and weekends)
  • Solid pipeline of HV projects to keep your skills sharp
  • A crew that’s supportive, down-to-earth, and knows their stuff
