Electrician – Fire & Electrical Compliance Technician

HOF Fire & Security
Northern Rivers, NSW
Part-Time to Full-Time

HOF Fire & Security is one of Northern NSW's leading providers of fire protection, electrical compliance and electronic security services. Due to continued growth, we are seeking a Licensed Electrician to join our team servicing residential, commercial and industrial clients throughout Northern NSW.

This position is available on a part-time to full-time basis, with flexibility around working days and hours for the right applicant.

The role is focused on RCD testing and repairs, smoke alarm testing and repairs, exit and emergency lighting testing and repairs, and routine testing of portable fire equipment and fire hose reels.

This is an ideal opportunity for an electrician looking for a change from traditional electrical contracting, someone wanting more structured and predictable work, or an experienced electrician seeking a flexible part-time position with the opportunity to increase to full-time hours.

Previous fire industry experience is not essential. Training will be provided to the right applicant.

About the Role

You will be responsible for electrical compliance testing, repairs and routine fire protection inspections across a diverse portfolio of residential, commercial, industrial and government properties.

Your responsibilities will include:

- RCD testing and compliance inspections

- Fault finding and repair of failed or defective RCDs

- Completion of electronic service reports and compliance documentation

- Completion of minor rectification works while onsite where practical





- Providing professional service and advice to clients

- Ensuring all works are completed safely and in accordance with relevant Australian Standards and company procedures

The position combines routine scheduled compliance work with electrical fault finding and repairs, allowing you to complete many identified defects at the time of inspection rather than simply reporting them for future attendance.

Training in the inspection and testing of portable fire equipment and fire hose reels can be provided where required.

You will have good electrical fault-finding skills, solid attention to detail and take pride in completing compliant, professional work.
