Licensed Electrician – Industrial, Workshop Machinery, Lifts, Generators & More

DCE Group Enterprises Pty Ltd t/a DCE Electrical Contractors – Port Macquarie NSW

We are not your usual electrical contractor.

We started DCE Group to be a place where people genuinely belong. We work to the standard that big corporate customers expect, but we have never lost our family culture, where people know they are cared about and look out for each other. Every day is different. There are opportunities to specialise in many different electrical fields, and there is always someone willing to teach you something new.

DCE Group looks like an electrical contractor from the outside. We do the lighting, power and switchboard work you would expect, but that is only part of the picture.

What a week with us can look like

In a single week, you could be:

Getting a stuck lift or a dead travelator moving again, as a subcontractor to the lift companies.

Servicing and repairing automatic doors at shopping centres, hospitals and clubs, including the odd after-hours call-out.

Tracing a fault in a packaging machine, an industrial laundry ironer or a car wash back to its real cause.

Setting up and commissioning workshop machinery in schools, from sanders to CNC plasma cutters, inside their marked safe working zones.

Testing and servicing standby generators and fitting automatic transfer switches.

Fixing commercial bakery and kitchen equipment, where a stopped machine stops a business.

Working on new builds, from temporary power to completion of the project.

Looking after major local industrial sites, working on everything from generators to 100-tonne overhead cranes and heavy machinery.

Looking after aged care campuses, from complex water reticulation systems to general lighting and power repairs.

Doing the lighting, power and switchboard work for large commercial and industrial sites.

How far our work reaches





Our work stretches from Tweed Heads to Wyong, and as far inland as Coonabarabran, Gunnedah and Muswellbrook. Since 2022 we have worked at more than 240 schools in over 150 towns. Our other customers include government buildings, hospitals, medical centres, supermarkets and shopping centres, service stations and car washes, aged care campuses, factories, bakeries, large laundries and large industrial sites.

About you

To be upfront, this is a hands‑on role with early starts, some travel and the odd call‑out. It suits an electrician who wants a different challenge every day.

You are willing to travel. Most work is a day trip out of Port Macquarie, from Coffs Harbour to Forster and Gloucester. Bigger jobs mean a few days away. We pay for your travel time, we pay your meal allowances above award rates, and we pay for all your accommodation.

You are happy to take your turn on our 24/7 on‑call roster. At the moment, that is one week in every six. The roster is shared across the team, published in advance and set around your rostered days off, so you can plan ahead.

You are flexible with your hours. Most days run to regular hours, but sometimes a job needs an early start, a late finish or a weekend, and we pay full overtime rates when it does.

You are a good fault‑finder. You like working out why a machine, motor or control circuit stopped rather than just swapping parts. You are happy to read the manual, test the drive and trace the wiring until you find the real cause,



because you would rather fix it properly than see the same fault come back a week later.

You bring experience, or the willingness to learn. Commercial, industrial or maintenance experience is a strong advantage, but you do not need to have done it all, because we will show you the rest.

You hold a current NSW electrical licence, a driver licence and a White Card. EWP and forklift (LF) tickets are a plus.

You are willing to complete a police check, a Working with Children Check and a medical. The medical is a condition of employment, and school sites require the first two.

You are tidy, safety‑minded and good with customers, from factory managers to school principals.

What we offer

Full‑time pay. Your base pay is $80,000 to $90,000 a year, depending on experience, and your super is paid on top of that, so the full package is $89,600 to $100,800 a year before overtime and allowances.

On‑call is paid. You get a weekly allowance for being on call, and every call‑out pays overtime rates for at least 4 hours.

All travel is paid for. That includes your travel time and the vehicle. When a job means a night away, you receive meal allowances above award rates and your accommodation, all paid for.

A chance to learn a whole new set of skills. You will learn in a supportive setting, from lifts and drives to generators and machinery, alongside people who genuinely want to help you get there.

Real trade depth behind you. Our team includes a fitter machinist and a fully qualified motor mechanic, and we have our own fully equipped mechanical and machinery workshop, so when a job gets tricky you have expert hands and the right equipment to call on.

We supply a company vehicle, tools and a uniform, and your rostered days off are published on a monthly roster.

You have a say in how we do things: when the standard way is not good enough, we build a better one.
