An established industrial process plant in Karratha needs a senior electrical leader who can take charge of maintenance, reliability and asset performance across its operation. The employer is open to people who have worked as a lead engineer or as an electrical superintendent, and will decide on the right fit by experience.

The business wants someone with solid time in operating plants, comfortable directing tradespeople and contractors, and confident running shutdown and commissioning work without losing sight of safety. The role is permanent and the successful applicant will reside in Karratha; this is not a FIFO arrangement.

On visas, the employer notes that sponsorship is available for suitable international candidates.

Your CV should make your plant history easy to read: voltage levels you have worked on, turnarounds you have led and crew sizes. Put an electrical superintendent CV together on Build AI CV so the employer can see that fit quickly.
