Electrical Service Manager – Commercial Electrical

Adapt Essential Services is an established, family-owned electrical and essential services company that has been operating for more than 30 years.

We have a close-knit management and service team providing electrical maintenance, compliance, testing, auditing and project services to commercial, government and facility-management clients across Victoria.

As a privately owned business, our management team works closely together, decisions can be made quickly, and our people have the opportunity to genuinely contribute to how the business operates and develops.

Due to continued growth, we are seeking an experienced Electrical Service Manager to take a key role within our electrical division.

The Role

Reporting directly to senior management, you will be responsible for the day-to-day management and performance of our electrical service works, from initial client request through to completion and close-out.

Your responsibilities will include:

Managing electricians and electrical service works across multiple client sites

Reviewing, planning and coordinating works, including labour, materials and technical requirements

Preparing and reviewing quotations, scopes and variations

Providing technical direction and hands‑on support to our field team when required

Managing job performance, including quality, safety, compliance and profitability

Building strong client relationships and managing works through to completion

Liaising with clients, consultants, electrical inspectors and other stakeholders

Managing supply‑authority/distributor requirements, applications, metering and associated paperwork

Ensuring completed works are properly documented and closed out





Working closely with our existing management team to coordinate resources, priorities and service delivery across the business

Location & Travel

Our office is based in Dandenong South, with clients and projects located throughout metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria. The successful applicant must be comfortable travelling throughout Victoria as required.

About You

Ideally, you will have:

A current Victorian electrical licence and Australian driver's licence

Strong commercial electrical service and maintenance experience, ideally in a management or supervisory role

Strong technical knowledge with practical field experience

Experience managing electricians, multiple jobs and competing priorities

Strong estimating and quoting skills, with an understanding of job costing and commercial outcomes

Experience dealing with electricity distributors/supply authorities, electrical inspectors, metering, applications and associated compliance paperwork

Good knowledge of Victorian electrical regulations and applicable Australian Standards

Robust communication skills and confidence dealing with clients, consultants and other stakeholders

Good computer and administrative skills

Experience working with government, council, facility‑management or commercial maintenance contracts would be highly regarded.

What We Are Looking For





We are looking for someone who takes ownership, follows things through and works well as part of a close management team.

You will need to be comfortable managing multiple priorities, making sound technical and commercial decisions and taking responsibility for outcomes.

This is a management role with a hands‑on element when required. We are looking for someone who is prepared to remain practically involved — whether that means attending site to investigate an issue, fault finding, assessing works for quotation, supporting our technicians with complex problems or getting on the tools when needed.

We value someone who can work independently and make decisions, while also recognising when collaboration with the wider management team will achieve the best result.

What We Offer

$135,000–$150,000 base salary + super + company vehicle

Permanent full‑time position

Established family‑owned business with more than 30 years' industry experience

Supportive, close‑knit management team

Direct involvement with business owners and senior management

Genuine input into how our electrical service operation is managed and improved

Diverse commercial, government and facility‑management client base

Senior role with genuine responsibility and autonomy

Long‑term career opportunity within an established and growing business

Applicants must have the right to work in Australia and hold a current Victorian electrical licence and Australian driver's licence.

The successful applicant will be required to obtain and maintain a current National Police Check due to the nature of our client base.
