Job Description

I'm Ken, a second-generation sparky. I started my apprenticeship in Dublin and have been running Kmelectric in Sydney's Inner West since 2008.

n

We're a family-run business based in Dulwich Hill, and we're growing. This role exists because I can't be on every job any more. I'm after an experienced licensed electrician who can run a job on his own, look after the customer and take pride in the finished work. We work as a team that gets along, and I want someone who fits that.

n

On the money: $48 is the starting point. $55 is for someone who can walk onto a job from day one, run it start to finish and not need me on the phone.

The work

How we work

We work as a team that gets along. If you need a second opinion,



someone picks up the phone. If a job gets difficult, you have backup.

n

We're straightforward with each other, we recognise good work, and we deal with problems directly. When something comes up at home, we work around it.

What matters to us is straightforward. Turn up, work safely, do the job properly and treat the customer's place like it's your own.

n

Room to progress

n

Once you're settled, you'll take an apprentice on your jobs and run your own work end to end.
