Packweigh designs and manufactures advanced weighing, bagging, and automation systems for producers and manufacturers across Australia. We're growing, and we need an experienced Industrial Electrician to join our production and commissioning team — someone hands-on, safety-conscious, and proud of doing technical work properly.

This is a hands-on role with genuine variety. You'll build and wire panels in our Capalaba workshop, then travel to install and commission that same equipment at customer sites around the country. If you like seeing a job through from build to fully operational, and don't mind being on the road, this role delivers exactly that — plus a vehicle, laptop, and paid travel allowances to go with it.

Your Role Will Include:

Building and wiring electrical panels for industrial automation systems

Installing, connecting and testing motors, VSDs, sensors, PLCs, and related equipment

In office commissioning and fault-finding, including interstate travel

Working to AS/NZS 3000 and Packweigh's internal electrical standards

Working alongside our mechanical and controls teams to deliver complete solutions

Helping the service team with troubleshooting and upgrades when needed

What We're Looking For:

Licensed QLD Electrical Fitter Mechanic

Solid background in industrial, automation,



or machinery environments

Minimum 3-5 years of industrial electrical experience required

Comfortable reading electrical schematics and wiring control panels

Confident fault-finding and troubleshooting on your own

Happy to travel regularly (3 nights a month on average with occasional busier stretches depending on project schedules)

Reliable, detail-focused, and takes pride in your work

Must have current Australian work authorisation

Bonus Points For:

Experience in automation, packaging, weighing or bagging machinery

Exposure to PLCs such as Allen Bradley, Siemens or Omron

An interest in growing into control systems, service, or project leadership

Why Join Packweigh?

Australian-owned manufacturer with a national customer base

Work across a wide range of custom-built automation equipment

Small, capable, supportive team where your work actually matters

Real pathways to grow your technical and leadership skills

Paid travel allowances, company vehicle, and laptop provided
