Industrial Electrical Supervisor – Hands-On Role

AMS Electrical Pty Ltd is seeking an experienced Industrial Electrical Supervisor to join our growing team.

This is not an office-based supervisor position . We’re looking for someone who is comfortable leading from the front — working on the tools alongside the team while taking responsibility for coordinating jobs, supervising trades and apprentices, communicating with clients, and ensuring work is completed safely and to a high standard.

About the Role

You will be involved in a broad range of industrial electrical and automation work, including:

Hands-on electrical installation, maintenance and breakdown work

Supervising electricians, apprentices and subcontractors

Coordinating daily works, labour and job priorities

Industrial fault finding and breakdown response

Machinery installation, relocation and commissioning

Switchboard, MCC and control panel works

Motors, VSDs, soft starters and motor control systems

PLC, HMI and industrial automation fault finding

Reading and interpreting electrical schematics and control drawings

Planning materials and equipment required for upcoming works

Liaising directly with clients and site management

Ensuring works are completed safely and in accordance with Australian Standards and site requirements

Assisting with testing, commissioning and handover of completed projects

Providing guidance and training to apprentices and less experienced tradespeople

About You

We are looking for someone who:

Holds a current NSW Electrical Licence

Has strong industrial electrical experience

Has previous supervisory, leading hand or senior electrician experience

Is confident fault finding industrial machinery and control systems

Has a good understanding of motors, contactors, VSDs, safety circuits and PLC-controlled equipment

Can read and understand electrical drawings





Can organise a team and keep jobs moving efficiently

Is confident communicating directly with clients

Takes pride in workmanship and presentation

Is reliable, organised and able to make decisions on site

Is still willing to get on the tools and work alongside the team

Experience with PLC/HMI systems, industrial automation, Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi or similar platforms will be highly regarded.

What We Offer

Competitive hourly rate based on experience

Company vehicle

Fuel card and tolls

Overtime opportunities

Variety of industrial maintenance, breakdown and project work

Prospect to take ownership of jobs and lead a growing team

Exposure to industrial automation, PLCs, VSDs and control systems

Ongoing technical development and training

Genuine opportunity to progress as AMS Electrical continues to grow
