Prolec Electrical and Data Services PTY LTD - Eltham VIC

n

PROLEC is looking for a highly capable electrician to step into a hands-on leadership position within our electrical team.

n

This isn't an office-based supervisor role, and we're not looking for someone who wants to completely step away from the tools.

n

We're looking for an experienced electrician who enjoys running jobs, solving technical problems, working with customers and leading other electricians by example.

n

You'll remain actively on the tools while taking responsibility for a small team of electricians and apprentices, helping maintain the quality, technical standards and customer service PROLEC is known for.

n

For the right electrician, this is an opportunity to take the next step in your career without giving up the part of the trade you enjoy.

n

The Role

n

As our Lead Electrician, you'll work closely with our Operations Manager and Director while providing day-to-day technical leadership to approximately 4-5 electricians and apprentices.

n

You'll personally run a variety of electrical service and project work while also being available to assist other technicians when they encounter difficult faults, installations or technical decisions.

n

Your role will include:

n

n
- Running electrical projects from start to completion
n
- Remaining actively involved in electrical installation, service and fault-finding work
n
- Leading and supporting a small team of electricians and apprentices
n
- Providing technical assistance to technicians in the field
n
- Diagnosing complex electrical faults and developing practical solutions
n
- Planning labour, materials and the sequence of works for your jobs
n
- Reviewing jobs before commencement and identifying potential issues
n
- Communicating professionally with customers, builders and other trades
n
- Ensuring work is completed safely, efficiently and to a high standard
n
- Completing testing, verification and electrical compliance requirements
n
- Maintaining high standards of job documentation and technician notes
n
- Checking completed work and helping maintain quality across the electrical division
n




- Mentoring developing electricians and apprentices
n
- Working with management to continually improve how we deliver our electrical services
n

n

n
- Metering and group metering

About You

n

You'll already be a highly capable electrician with significant experience across the electrical industry.

n

You don't necessarily need to have held a formal management position before.

n

What's more important is that you're already the electrician people trust to make the call when something isn't straightforward.

n

You will ideally have:

n

n
- Victorian A Grade Electrical Licence
n
- Extensive post-apprenticeship electrical experience
n
- Strong residential and commercial electrical knowledge
n
- Excellent fault‐finding and diagnostic ability
n
- Strong knowledge of AS/NZS 3000 and Victorian electrical requirements
n
- Experience with switchboards, mains upgrades and electrical distribution systems
n
- Experience running your own jobs and coordinating other tradespeople
n
- The ability to supervise and support electricians and apprentices
n
- Strong testing and verification skills
n
- Good organisation and job planning skills
n
- Professional communication with customers
n
- Current Victorian driver's licence
n

n

Just as importantly, we're looking for someone who:

n

n




- Takes ownership of their jobs
n
- Leads from the front rather than from the sidelines
n
- Enjoys solving technical problems
n
- Can make decisions without needing constant direction
n
- Has high standards of workmanship
n
- Communicates clearly with both customers and technicians
n
- Is comfortable using modern job-management and field technology
n
- Wants responsibility and career progression
n
- Can teach without others effectively
n
- Takes pride in developing the electricians around them
n

n

You should be confident in your ability, but leave the ego at the door.

n

What This Role Isn't

n

This isn't a position where you'll spend your week driving between sites checking what everyone else is doing. It's a genuine working electrician's role. You'll still have your tools out, you'll still diagnose faults, you'll still install and you'll still run jobs. The difference is that you'll also have the authority and responsibility to help lead the electrical team around you. If your goal is to remain technically strong while moving into a more influential position within an electrical business, this role has been designed for exactly that progression.

n

Why PROLEC?

n

PROLEC Electrical & Air Conditioning is an established Melbourne electrical and HVAC business with a solid focus on professional service, clear communication and quality workmanship.

n

We've built systems around providing our technicians with the information, equipment and support they need to do their jobs properly.

n

For the right person, this position provides an opportunity to become a key member of the business and have genuine influence over how our electrical team operates and develops.

n

You'll receive:

n

n
- Excellent remuneration based on experience
n
- Company vehicle
n
- Ipad with sim card
n
- Full-time stable employment
n
- A broad variety of electrical work
n
- Significant autonomy in your day-to-day role
n
- Direct access to management
n
- Support from an established office and operations team
n
- The opportunity to lead without moving away from the tools
n
- Genuine opportunity for further career progression within PROLEC
