Qualified Electrician – Residential Service & Maintenance

$50 per hour base rate + uncapped weekly commission

Bacchus Marsh / Melton | Full-time | Monday to Friday

NextGen Electricians is a small but growing residential electrical business based in Bacchus Marsh.

The base rate is $50 per hour, plus uncapped weekly commission. Once you’re up and running, an additional $400–$1,000+ per week is very achievable for the right person.

We’re not a big corporate company. We’re a small, easygoing local business with plenty of work and plenty of room to grow.

The role

We specialise in residential service and maintenance, working mainly in existing homes.

The work is varied and can include:

- General electrical service and maintenance
- Fault finding
- Switchboard upgrades
- Lighting and power
- Ceiling fans
- Smoke alarms
- CCTV and security
- TV and data
- EV chargers
- Renovations and smaller electrical projects
- Quoting and completing work for homeowners

You’ll generally work alongside our apprentice Jakob four days per week, with Jakob attending trade school on Wednesdays.

You’ll essentially run your own van and your own day. We’ll book jobs into your schedule, but you’ll be able to see and manage your calendar through ServiceM8 and have plenty of freedom to organise your day.

We don’t overbook. We want you to have enough time to look after the customer, complete your work properly and manage your own jobs.

We’re also not going to micromanage you. We’re looking for someone who can manage their own jobs, their apprentice, their breaks and their day without needing someone constantly looking over their shoulder.

You’ll have plenty of support whenever you need it,



but you need to be a self-starter and be accountable for your own work.

You need to be good with people

This probably isn’t your normal electrician role.

Obviously you need to be a positive electrician, but that’s only part of the job.

We’re in people’s homes every day. You’ll be talking with customers, working out what they need, giving them options, quoting the work and, where possible, completing it while you’re there.

Customer service is a massive part of NextGen.

There are plenty of electricians around Bacchus Marsh and Melton. What makes people call us back and recommend us is pretty simple. We’re friendly, we communicate, we do neat work, we clean up after ourselves and we genuinely enjoy dealing with our customers.

We’ll give you plenty of one-on-one training in quoting, customer service and how we do things. We also regularly work on and train this side of the role as a team.

We don’t expect you to walk in knowing our systems or exactly how we operate.

But you do need to be a people person.

If you don’t enjoy talking to customers, meeting new people and building relationships, this probably isn’t the job for you.

What we’re looking for

- Holds a current Victorian electrical licence
- Has a current driver’s licence
- Has a strong residential electrical background
- Ideally has solid residential service and maintenance experience
- Is confident working independently
- Is a self-starter and can manage their own day
- Takes responsibility and is accountable for their own work
- Is a stro
