Enerven delivers electrical infrastructure and telecommunications solutions that are vital to connecting communities across Australia. Our design, construction, and maintenance services ensure reliable power generation, transmission, and distribution to homes and businesses nationwide – and our commitment to renewable energy and resilient grid infrastructure sets us apart.
Our Distribution Services team is responsible for maintaining and constructing SA Power Networks distribution assets – both overhead and underground on low voltage, 11kV and 33kV lines (poles, wires, transformers, high voltage switches etc.). This includes live low voltage maintenance and construction, high voltage switching and live line tree trimming, as well as project work such as conductor replacement, new line builds, and new transformers.
Due to the ongoing growth of our Distribution Services team, we have multiple permanent Powerline Crew Leader positions available at both the Ferryden Park and St Marys depots.

- Lead the way on safety, calling out unsafe behaviours and demonstrating safe work practices
- Maintain own truck and equipment
- Ensure all completed works are carried out to SA Power Networks standards and E-drawings
- Advise team leaders of work in jeopardy or not completed in a timely manner so intervention may occur
- Ensure all correct compliance documentation is captured, documented and returned to the team leader for each job
- Ensure material bays are completely empty before leaving for the job site
- Monitor and mentor team members and apprentices
- Give feedback to team leaders including what went well and why, and what could be better and how
- Accurate and complete Toughbook recording for job sign off and timesheet entries
