Work closely with the team to align workflows with installation requirements.
Collaborate with the Field Supervisor to maintain installation quality, productivity, safety and compliance.
Assist with technical enquiries, variations, non-standard installations and construction-related challenges.
Monitor project progress, identify potential delays and implement practical solutions.
Support estimating and job preparation through technical advice and installation planning.
Identify opportunities to improve installation methods, labour efficiency and operational processes.
Maintain effective communication with builders, contractors and internal teams on technical and delivery matters.

To be successful, you will ideally have:
A current WA Electrical Workers Licence.
Extensive experience in residential electrical installations, ideally within the residential building industry.
Previous experience as an Electrical Supervisor, Leading Hand, Senior Electrician or similar.
Strong technical knowledge of residential electrical systems, installation practices and applicable Australian Standards.
The ability to interpret electrical plans, specifications and construction documentation.
Sound understanding of residential construction stages, scheduling requirements and builder expectations.
Strong organisational, communication and problem-solving skills.
Confidence providing technical guidance and making practical operational decisions.
A proactive approach to identifying issues and improving processes.
Competence using computers, scheduling platforms and job management systems.
Previous experience coordinating multiple installation teams or subcontractors will be highly regarded.
What's on Offer?
A permanent, full-time position within an established residential electrical business.
Predominantly office-based work, with opportunities to attend sites as required.
The opportunity to use your trade knowledge without being permanently on the tools.
A collaborative working environment with dedicated operational, administrative and field support.
The opportunity to influence installation standards, team productivity and operational improvements.
Competitive remuneration based on qualifications and experience.
