A-Grade Electrician – Team Leader — Benelec Services
Ready to run your own crew?
You've done your time pulling cable on big sites and you know your trade inside out. Now you want more than just following a foreman around — you want to lead the job, bring apprentices up properly, and be trusted to get it done right. You'll start by getting to know our crew, our clients and the way we do things — then step up and run your own team.
Benelec is a tight-knit Melbourne crew doing the kind of varied, interesting work that keeps you switched on. One day you're on a current build in the inner west, next you're on a 20kW solar install on a commercial roof, then you're back‐of‐house at a festival running temporary power for a stage. No two weeks look the same.
We're growing fast, but we're keeping it real. You'll know everyone's name. You'll know everyone's coffee order. And when something goes sideways on a job, you'll have a team that actually backs you in.
What you'll be working towards
Getting to know our crew, our clients and the Benelec way of doing things
Running a small crew on site and keeping jobs on track
Supervising and mentoring apprentices
Being the first point of contact on site for the team, clients and builders
Keeping job cards, notes and photos up to date in ServiceM8
Making sure every job meets our safety and quality standards
Reporting to the Director on progress, issues and variations
What you'll be doing
Residential service work, renovations, and new builds across Melbourne
Commercial fit‐outs, maintenance, and switchboard upgrades
Maintenance across 13 McDonald's stores in Melbourne — we're an approved contractor




Solar PV and battery installations (we're SAA accredited and growing this side of the business hard)
EV charger installs — residential and commercial
Strata and Owners Corporation work, property management call‐outs, and festival and event electrical work
What we're looking for
A-grade electrical licence (Victoria) — non‐negotiable
3–5 years post‐licence experience, ideally across resi and commercial
Experience leading a small team or supervising apprentices
Full driver's licence and Australian work rights
Solar and EV experience is a big plus; SAA accreditation a bonus but not required
Pride in your work — if you cut corners, we're not for you
What you get from us
$48 – $60 per hour based on experience, reviewed annually
$500 sign‐on bonus, paid after your 3-month probation period
Company vehicle with fuel card supplied
ServiceM8 setup so you're never chasing paper
A genuine career path — we're building this business and the right people grow with us
Real team culture — Friday knock‐offs, end‐of‐job debriefs, and a boss who's still on the tools and gets it
Ongoing training — solar, battery, EV, whatever you want to upskill in, we'll back you
Respect for your time — we don't take the piss with hours, and overtime is paid, not "expected"
