ARE Services WA is a WA-based communications company specialising in underground mining communications systems, leaky feeder infrastructure and specialised radio communications equipment.
We are looking for a motivated young electrician who has recently completed their apprenticeship and wants to build a long-term career in communications and mining technology.
This is not your standard electrical role.
You will be trained in underground communications systems including leaky feeder installations, radio systems, fibre, fault finding, commissioning and mine communications auditing. Over time, you will develop into a lead communications technician capable of running projects and managing site works independently.

- Assisting with installation and commissioning of underground communications systems
- Learning ARE leaky feeder systems and mine communications infrastructure
- Fault finding and testing communications equipment on site
- Conducting underground communications audits and reporting
- Working alongside experienced communications technicians and supervisors
- Travelling regularly to mine sites across WA
- Developing toward independently running projects and site works
- Maintaining high safety and quality standards on all projects
What We Offer
- Opportunity to specialise in a niche, high-demand industry
- Hands-on training in underground mining communications systems
- Exposure to advanced communications and radio technologies
- Career progression into senior technician and project leadership roles
- Variety of workshop and field-based work
- Supportive small team workplace
Competitive pay based on experience
If you are looking for a career that goes beyond standard electrical work and want to build specialised technical skills in the mining communications industry, we’d love to hear from you.
