Electrician – Residential Safety Compliance
Melbourne | $80K - $90K Base + Up to $10K Bonus + Company Car + Fuel Card + $5K Sign-On Bonus

About Us

Detector Inspector started in 2005 when our founders, Jason and Jordan, saw an opportunity to make a difference.

We help make homes safer for renters — and safety compliance easier for property managers.

We've grown into a trusted name across the industry, and we're not slowing down.

About the Role

We're looking for a self-motivated, experienced electrician to join our growing residential compliance team.

You'll be responsible for:

- Electrical safety inspections, maintenance, and testing of 240V and 9V smoke alarms (including replacements)
- RCD testing and replacement
- Electrical repairs, installations, and system upgrades
- Property compliance checks, including minimum standards checks and corded blind safety inspections
- A broad range of residential safety and compliance services

As our services expand, there may be opportunities to move into other areas of the business, including split system and ducted air-conditioning install, service, and maintenance.

As we grow, there's real scope to broaden your responsibilities and build a long-term career with us.

Based across Melbourne, with travel required. Opportunities may also be available for regional work and after-hours services, with additional allowances and bonuses available where applicable.

What's In It for You

- $80,000–$90,000 base + super, with the opportunity to earn up to an additional $10,000 through performance-based KPIs.
- Fully maintained company vehicle + fuel card
- $5,000 sign on bonus paid at 6 months of employment




- Living Away From Home Allowance + associated bonuses for eligible regional work
- Mon–Fri, 7:30am–4:00pm, with an RDO every 4th Friday
- EAP support + exclusive DI staff discounts
- Genuine opportunities for career progression and promotion from within
- A growing business where you can broaden your skills across residential safety and compliance

What You'll Need

- A-Grade Electrical Licence
- Solid working knowledge of AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS 3019
- Valid driver's licence and willingness to travel across metro Melbourne
- Availability for occasional after-hours work is highly regarded
- Comfortable using smartphone apps
- Strong safety mindset and customer focus
- Skilled, self-motivated, and reliable

Please Note

Safety is core to what we do. As a condition of employment, successful candidates will need to complete a National Police Clearance and a Pre-Employment Physical Assessment — both directly related to the physical and safety-critical demands of this role.
