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.

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

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?

Also suited to tradies who like building things properly and seeing them leave the workshop complete and tested.
