Senior Electrical Supervisor

Astill’s Electrical is a growing, family owned and operated business, and we’re looking for a strong people leader to take ownership of our Sunshine Coast trade team. Our current Senior Supervisor is relocating to help grow our Bundaberg branch, opening an opportunity for someone to bring their experience, ideas and leadership to our Kunda Park headquarters. As our business grows, this role offers a pathway towards Regional Manager or Operations Manager for someone who demonstrates the capability, commitment and results.

The opportunity involves reporting to our Operations Manager, leading the day-to-day scheduling, supervision and delivery of general electrical, solar and air conditioning works. You’ll join an eleven-person supervisory team across our regions, sharing knowledge, solving challenges together and supporting each other with a ONE TEAM mentality. Locally, you’ll lead our Sunshine Coast trade team, with a Supervisor and Storeman reporting directly to you.

We’re looking for a true leader: someone who builds trust, sets clear expectations, has the difficult conversations when needed and helps people become better at what they do. You’ll be firm, fair and approachable, taking responsibility for both your team’s performance and the culture you create. You’ll have the opportunity to make this area your own, supported by our office, estimating and leadership teams.

We’re a highly data-driven company. We work from actual results, with clear targets and visibility over job costs, labour utilisation and performance. You’ll use that information to plan effectively, solve problems early and drive improvements. Safety is central to how we operate. You’ll help strengthen our safety culture by leading by example, listening to the team and consistently following through.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading, motivating and developing our Sunshine Coast electricians and apprentices.
• Taking ownership of scheduling, job planning and resource allocation.
• Supervising works to ensure quality, compliance and timely completion.
• Monitoring budgets, labour performance and materials costs.
• Providing technical guidance, mentoring and troubleshooting support.
• Setting expectations, recognising good work and addressing performance concerns.
• Building strong relationships with customers, suppliers and internal teams.
• Leading pre-starts and driving practical safety improvements.
• Identifying better ways of working and helping put them into practice.

Who we’re looking for:

You’re an experienced electrician with proven supervisory experience and the ability to bring a team with you. You lead by example, stay calm under pressure and follow through on what you say. You take pride in developing others, welcome accountability and want to grow beyond your current role. You’ll bring:

• A current Queensland Electrical Licence and Construction White Card.
• Ideally, at least five years’ experience in electrical services.
• Proven experience leading teams, scheduling work and managing job costs.
• Strong technical knowledge and a practical approach to problem-solving.
• Confidence using software, reports and performance data.
• Clear communication and a commitment to customer service.
• The ability to obtain a Blue Card.

Experience across solar and air conditioning, along with relevant QBCC nominee qualifications, will be highly regarded.

Why join Astill’s?

• Career progression with purpose: As we expand, we’re developing our next generation of leaders. For the right person, this role can lead towards Regional Manager or Operations Manager responsibilities.
• Investment in your leadership: Leadership training, coaching and ongoing development will help you strengthen your skills and prepare for greater responsibility.
• Ownership and support: Bring your ideas and make your mark, with clear expectations and an experienced leadership team behind you.
• ONE TEAM mentality: Our trades, apprentices, supervisors and office teams work together. We share knowledge, back each other and take pride in the results we achieve together.
• Connection beyond the job: Annual team days, quarterly social events and team BBQs give us time to connect and celebrate our people.
