Electrical Service Technician

Job description

Kalgoorlie$60 per hour + Full-Time Permanent Position

Kalgoorlie-Boulder & Goldfields

Industrial, Mining & Field Service Electricians Encouraged to Apply

Are you a qualified electrician who enjoys fault finding, diagnostics and getting to the bottom of technical problems?

Looking for something different from repetitive electrical installation work?

This is an excellent opportunity to join an established field-service operation in Kalgoorlie and build your expertise across generators and power generation equipment.

We are looking for a capable, hands-on Service Electrician to support customers across Kalgoorlie-Boulder and the wider Goldfields.

Previous generator experience is highly regarded, but it isn't essential. If you come from industrial maintenance, mining, heavy equipment, electrical service or field maintenance and you're strong on diagnostics, we'd like to hear from you.

What’s on offer?

• $60.00 per hour
• Permanent, full-time employment
• Kalgoorlie-based field service role
• Varied work across generators and power generation equipment
• Opportunity to develop specialist generator knowledge
• Autonomous position with plenty of technical variety
• Work across customer, industrial and operational sites throughout the Goldfields
• A role where your fault-finding ability and practical experience will genuinely be valued

What you'll be doingThis isn't just another installation role. You'll be out in the field diagnosing problems, servicing equipment and keeping critical power systems operating reliably.

Your work will include:

• Scheduled generator servicing and preventative maintenance
• Electrical fault finding and diagnostics
• Breakdown response and electrical repairs
• Testing and component replacement
• Troubleshooting starting, charging, battery, alternator and control systems
• Reading electrical schematics and wiring diagrams
• Assisting with generator installation and commissioning
• Identifying potential faults before they result in equipment failure
• Completing field-service work across Kalgoorlie and the Goldfields
• Providing customers with professional technical advice
• Completing service reports and maintenance documentation

Who are we looking for?We're particularly interested in electricians from backgrounds such as:

Mining | Industrial Maintenance | Field Service | Heavy Equipment | Power Generation | Fixed Plant | Mobile Equipment | Electrical Maintenance

You will need:

• Australian electrical trade qualification
• Current WA Electrical Licence, or a licence recognised in Western Australia
• Current Australian Driver's Licence
• Strong electrical fault-finding and diagnostic skills
• Ability to interpret electrical drawings and schematics
• A practical, hands-on approach
• Confidence working autonomously in the field
• Strong safety awareness
• Good customer communication skills
• Reliability and a professional attitude

Generator experience?Great if you have it. Don't rule yourself out if you don't.

Experience with generators, diesel-powered equipment, generator controllers, automatic transfer systems or field service will be highly regarded.

However, we're equally interested in hearing from a strong electrician with industrial, mining or heavy-equipment experience who has excellent diagnostic skills and wants to develop specialist generator expertise.

Tickets such as Working at Heights, Confined Space, EWP and First Aid will also be well regarded.

Important eligibility requirementApplicants must be an Australian Citizen or Australian Permanent Resident to be considered for this permanent position.

Please ensure your current residency/work status is clearly stated in your application.

Ready for a change?If you're an experienced electrician in Kalgoorlie-Boulder or the Goldfields and want a role offering variety, autonomy and the chance to build valuable specialist skills, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Apply now. We'd particularly like to hear from local electricians who are ready to step into a long-term, full-time opportunity. if you have any questions please call Emma on 0386329940.
