We are looking for an experienced switchboard builder to move into a leading hand role within our workshop.
This is not an entry-level role. We need someone who already understands switchboard building and can help lead others while still working hands-on.
This role would suit someone who knows how to build low-voltage switchboards properly and is ready to take on more responsibility. You will still be working on the tools, but you will also be expected to help organise work, guide other staff, check quality, and keep jobs moving.
About the role
The role includes:
- Building and wiring low-voltage electrical switchboards
- Reading and working from electrical drawings
- Fitting electrical components and switchboard gear
- Organising day-to-day workshop tasks
- Assisting and guiding apprentices, trades assistants, and other staff
- Checking work for quality and accuracy
- Helping identify issues before they become problems
- Working with management to meet project deadlines
- Keeping the workshop safe, tidy, and organised
About you
We are looking for someone with:
- At least 5 years’ experience in switchboard building or a similar electrical workshop environment
- Strong practical knowledge of switchboard assembly, busbar fabrication and wiring
- The ability to read and understand electrical drawings
- Experience with Elsteel and/or Eaton xEnergy systems would be highly valued
- Valuable attention to detail
- A reliable, no-nonsense work ethic
- The ability to work with and guide other people
- Pride in the quality of your work
Previous leading hand or supervisory experience would be well regarded, but it is not essential if you are ready to take the next step.
What we offer
- Full-time workshop-based role
- Stable work in an established switchboard manufacturing business
- Opportunity to step into a leading hand position
- Pay based on experience and ability
Please apply with your resume and a short note outlining your switchboard experience.
