Maintenance Electrician

Varied, hands-on maintenance role | Automation & controls | Stable manufacturing environment
A well-established market leading Australian manufacturing business is seeking an experienced Maintenance Electrician to join its engineering and maintenance team.

This is a broad, hands-on position suited to a practical and skilled electrician who enjoys fault finding, machinery maintenance, controls and solving electrical problems, rather than simply performing repetitive preventative maintenance.

The Role
You'll work across a busy manufacturing environment, taking responsibility for the electrical maintenance, repair and improvement of production equipment and associated plant.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Preventative and reactive electrical maintenance
• Electrical fault finding, breakdowns and repairs
• Maintenance of production machinery and associated plant
• Installation and commissioning of plant and equipment
• Electrical modifications and machinery improvements
• Control panel design, modification and installation
• Assisting with PLCs, automation and production efficiency improvements
• Working autonomously on maintenance projects and scheduled works
• Working alongside mechanical and other specialist trades
• Maintaining high standards of WHS and housekeeping

About You
We're looking for a capable, reliable tradesperson who takes ownership of their work and is comfortable working across a varied manufacturing environment, including some of the latest machines and technology in manufacturing, in addition to older production lines and legacy systems.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Electrical trade qualification and current NSW Electrical Licence
• Strong hands-on industrial electrical maintenance experience
• Manufacturing, production or industrial maintenance experience
• Strong electrical fault-finding skills
• Experience with machinery, controls and electrical systems
• PLC knowledge or exposure
• Good safety awareness
• Ability to work autonomously and manage changing priorities
• Good communication skills and a team-focused attitude

Some flexibility for overtime, including occasional weekend or public holiday work, will be required.

What's On Offer
This is a permanent, stable opportunity with a well-established Australian business offering significantly more variety than a traditional production maintenance role.

You'll have exposure to maintenance, breakdowns, machinery modifications, control systems, improvement projects and automation, giving you the opportunity to use and further develop the full breadth of your electrical trade skills.

If you're an experienced Maintenance Electrician looking for a stable role, interesting machinery and plenty of variety, we'd like to hear from you.
