Job Description

The solar and backup power installer in Epping needs a qualified electrician who can work neatly and sign off safe installations. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

You'll report in Epping. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What you'll actually do

Supervise and teach an electrical assistant or apprentice on site
Terminate armoured cable and fit glands on three-phase motor supplies
Fault-find tripping circuits with a multimeter, insulation tester and loop tester
Run conduit, trunking and cable tray on new builds and renovations
Install inverters, battery banks and changeover switches for backup power clients
Read electrical layouts and mark out point positions before chasing walls
Quote small jobs for clients and explain the fault in plain language

You'll need

Electrical trade test certificate (Section 13 or 26D) through a QCTO-accredited centre
Clean criminal record, since you will work inside client homes
Valid Code 08 driver's licence
Your own basic hand tools and a calibrated multimeter

Helpful, not essential

Working at Heights certificate still in date
Solar PV installation training and experience with hybrid inverters

What you get

Provident fund and group risk cover after probation
Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekends
Standby allowance when you are on the after-hours roster

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Epping; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

If you have issued CoCs before, say how many and for what type of property.
Many applicants forget to attach the trade test certificate itself. Recruiters often skip CVs that only mention it.
