Lead A-Grade Electrician - Service and Projects Prolec Electrical and Data Services PTY LTD - Eltham VIC

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

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

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

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.

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.

The Role 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.

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.

Your role will include:

Running electrical projects from start to completion

Remaining actively involved in electrical installation, service and fault-finding work

Leading and supporting a small team of electricians and apprentices

Providing technical assistance to technicians in the field

Diagnosing complex electrical faults and developing practical solutions

Planning labour, materials and the sequence of works for your jobs

Reviewing jobs before commencement and identifying potential issues

Communicating professionally with customers, builders and other trades

Ensuring work is completed safely, efficiently and to a high standard

Completing testing, verification and electrical compliance requirements

Maintaining high standards of job documentation and technician notes

Checking completed work and helping maintain quality across the electrical division





Mentoring developing electricians and apprentices

Working with management to continually improve how we deliver our electrical services

The Work PROLEC completes a broad range of residential and commercial electrical work throughout Melbourne, with a strong concentration across Melbourne's north-east.

Our work includes:

Electrical service and fault finding

Switchboard upgrades

Consumer mains and three-phase upgrades

Metering and group metering

Residential electrical projects

Commercial electrical works

Underground electrical infrastructure

EV charging installations

Electrical renovations and upgrades

Power, lighting and control systems

Electrical compliance and testing

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

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

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

You will ideally have:

Victorian A Grade Electrical Licence

Extensive post-apprenticeship electrical experience

Strong residential and commercial electrical knowledge

Excellent fault‑finding and diagnostic ability

Strong knowledge of AS/NZS 3000 and Victorian electrical requirements

Experience with switchboards, mains upgrades and electrical distribution systems

Experience running your own jobs and coordinating other tradespeople

The ability to supervise and support electricians and apprentices

Strong testing and verification skills

Good organisation and job planning skills

Professional communication with customers

Current Victorian driver’s licence

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

Takes ownership of their jobs





Leads from the front rather than from the sidelines

Enjoys solving technical problems

Can make decisions without needing constant direction

Has high standards of workmanship

Communicates clearly with both customers and technicians

Is comfortable using modern job-management and field technology

Wants responsibility and career progression

Can teach without others effectively

Takes pride in developing the electricians around them

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

What This Role Isn’t 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.

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

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

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.

You’ll receive:

Excellent remuneration based on experience

Company vehicle

Ipad with sim card

Full-time stable employment

A broad variety of electrical work

Significant autonomy in your day-to-day role

Direct access to management

Support from an established office and operations team

The opportunity to lead without moving away from the tools

Genuine opportunity for further career progression within PROLEC
