Nuvo Group Shift Electrician - Southern Cross Station

About Us We are returning to our roots. Since 2023 Nuvo & Ae Smith are privately owned business once more, and its an understatement to say we have gone through a bit of a transition period. We are still the same organisation that has operated for over 120 years as an Australian industry leader in HVAC, building services and electrical markets, but we have a renewed approach to the way we work and operate. As asset specialists, we understand our #1 asset is our people. We're proud of our team's depth and breadth of experience and with over 600 of us united in our work and our brands, it's unsurprising our average employee tenure is market leading, but we are always keen on adding new faces to our team.

Be the first responder for one of Melbourne's busiest and most recognisable transport hubs. Nuvo Group is seeking an experienced and adaptable Shift Electrician to join our facilities team at Southern Cross Station. Working on behalf of Honeywell, you will help provide continuous 24/7 coverage and keep this major public facility safe, operational and moving.

Your workload will vary from day to day and include planned preventive maintenance, fault-finding, emergency response, contractor coordination and general make-safe works.

During night shifts, you will operate as a broad facilities first responder. This requires a practical, team-first attitude and a





willingness to assist with tasks outside traditional electrical work such changing failed toilet seats and unblocking toilets; electrical faults; floor and tact tile repairs; make safes until morning - ie smashed glass; as

About You You are a capable electrician who remains calm when responding to urgent faults and enjoys working across a broad range of building systems. You understand that keeping a major transport facility operational sometimes means stepping outside a narrow trade remit and helping wherever required.

You will ideally have:

A current Victorian A Grade Electrical Licence

Demonstrated experience in electrical maintenance and fault-finding

Availability to work a rotating roster of 12-hour day and night shifts

A strong commitment to safety and accurate permit procedures

Confidence working independently as the first responder to site issues

A practical, flexible and hands-on approach to general facilities maintenance
