A-Grade Electrician – Service, Maintenance & Projects

Senior A-Grade Electrician
Variety, Responsibility & a Good Crew

Melbourne | Full-time | Service, Maintenance, Infrastructure & Projects

If you’re a valuable sparky, you’ve probably got options.

So rather than tell you we’re a “dynamic company looking for a motivated individual”, here’s what working at Lighton Electrics actually looks like:

A mix of planned maintenance, inspections, fault finding, infrastructure upgrades and design-and-install projects. Good systems. Proper gear. A team that backs you. And plenty of opportunities to use your experience to solve real problems.

Lighton is a family-operated Victorian electrical contractor with more than 45 years behind us. We work across commercial sites, local government, education, community facilities, housing, civil infrastructure and multi-site asset portfolios throughout Melbourne.

We’re growing, and we’re looking for an experienced Senior A-Grade Electrician who knows their trade, takes pride in their work and can be trusted to get things sorted.

What the work actually looks like

We’re not going to pretend every job is a technical mystery waiting to be solved.

Some of our work is repetitive by nature.

We look after large asset portfolios, which means planned maintenance, inspections, testing and compliance work are an important part of what we do. Doing those jobs properly, consistently and efficiently matters to our customers — and to us.

But that’s only one part of the role.

Our service and maintenance work regularly identifies assets that need to be repaired, replaced, redesigned or upgraded. That creates opportunities for our electricians to be involved in the next step — working out the right solution and helping deliver it.

Depending on the job, that might mean:

- Diagnosing and resolving a difficult electrical fault
- Identifying an ageing or non-compliant installation and recommending a solution
- Upgrading switchboards, mains, pillars or electrical infrastructure
- Improving lighting, power or control systems




- Scoping works and helping determine the best way to deliver them
- Working with the team to plan and deliver design-and-install solutions
- Completing commercial fit-outs and refurbishments
- Delivering EV charging, solar and battery infrastructure
- Working on upgrades across civic, community and commercial facilities

For an experienced electrician, there’s an opportunity to do more than simply turn up and install what’s on a drawing.

We value people who can look at a problem, understand what the customer is trying to achieve and contribute to a practical solution.

The role includes

- Reactive and preventative electrical maintenance
- Routine inspections, testing and scheduled asset maintenance
- Fault finding and breakdown response
- Lighting, power and control systems
- Switchboard, mains, pillar and infrastructure upgrades
- Compliance, testing and rectification works
- Scoping and delivery of electrical upgrade works
- Design-and-install projects
- Commercial and community-based projects
- Commercial fit-outs and refurbishments
- EV charging infrastructure
- Solar and battery systems
- Digital job management, reporting and documentation
- Rotating emergency call-out availability

The kind of sparky we’re looking for

You don’t need to know everything.

You do need to be experienced, dependable and capable of thinking your way through a problem without needing someone standing over your shoulder.

You’ll have:

- A current Victorian A-Grade Electrical Licence
- Around 3–5+ years' experience as an A-Grade Electrician
- A current driver’s licence
- Strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills
- High standards around safety and workmanship
- Good communication skills with customers, site contacts and the team




- The ability to work independently and take ownership of a job
- The discipline to complete routine maintenance and documentation properly
- The confidence to contribute ideas and practical solutions
- A reliable, practical and easy-to-deal-with attitude

Extra points if you’ve worked across:

- Commercial service and maintenance
- Local government or facilities maintenance
- Education, owners corporations or multi-site portfolios
- Scheduled inspection and compliance programs
- Switchboards, mains and infrastructure upgrades
- Electrical project delivery or design-and-install work
- Air conditioning and hold an ARC licence
- Solar, batteries or EV charging
- Structured cabling
- Live operating environments where keeping the customer functioning matters

You don’t need to tick every box.

If you’re a strong electrician who wants to expand beyond the tools into more fault diagnosis, scoping, solution development and project delivery, we’d still like to hear from you.

Why Lighton?

Because a senior electrician should be able to expect more than “competitive salary and a great team environment.”

At Lighton, you’ll get:

- A genuine mix of work across planned maintenance, reactive service, infrastructure and projects
- The opportunity to be involved in scoping, developing and delivering solutions, not just installing them
- Exposure to larger electrical and infrastructure upgrade works
- Design-and-install projects where your practical experience and ideas matter
- Long-term customer relationships and steady work across established asset portfolios
- An established Victorian business with 45+ years of history
- A properly equipped service fleet with the tools and equipment you need to do the job well
- Good systems and support rather than organised chaos
- Exposure to EV charging, solar, battery storage, automation and emerging electrical technologies
- The autonomy expected of a senior tradesperson, backed by a team when you need it
- A long-term role with room to keep developing technically and professionally
