Short Description

Family-owned and operated in Somerton Park for 14 years. Top-end pay, annual bonuses, take-home van with personal use, fuel card and a genuine pathway to Operations Manager. Join a growing business where you're valued, rewarded and given room to progress.

Still hearing "We'll look at your pay next year"?

You're a good sparky. You turn up, you do it properly, and you're the one who gets called when a job goes sideways.

But your pay hasn't moved, and nobody's talking about where you'll be in five years.

If that sounds familiar, we'd like to talk to you.

We're Scothern's Electrical, a family-run business that believes good people deserve good pay, genuine opportunities and to be treated like people, not numbers.

We're looking for an experienced electrician who wants more than just another job. Someone who wants to be rewarded for their work and eventually take the next step into leadership and operations.

Who We Are

Scothern's Electrical is a family-owned and family-run business based in Somerton Park.

We started 14 years ago with one beat-up 1991 HiAce and have grown into a full fleet servicing Adelaide across electrical, air conditioning and solar.

We're proud of what we've built, but we're not finished growing.

We specialise in domestic and commercial work, including:

- Electrical maintenance and fault finding.

- New electrical installations.

- Commercial projects and fit-outs.

- Air conditioning installations.

- Solar installations.

The work is steady and varied. We have ongoing projects across Adelaide, with no quiet patches or wondering where the next job is coming from.

If you're based in the southern suburbs, working locally from Somerton Park could make your daily commute a whole lot easier.

The Pay – We Believe in Rewarding Good People

- $110,000–$130,000 + super, based on experience.





- End-of-year bonus – when the business has a great year and you've contributed to that success, we want you to share in it.

- Commission for bringing new work into the business. The bigger the job, the bigger your opportunity.

- Overtime opportunities when you want them, paid on top of your salary.

We want people who take pride in their work to see the rewards of being part of our team.

The Package & Perks

- Company van to take home, including personal use.

- Fuel card.

- Paid birthday off – it's your day, enjoy it!

- Monday to Friday.

- Monthly RDO.

- Gym access at the office.

- Work tablet supplied.

Family Comes First Here – And We Mean It

We run this business around a young family of our own, so we understand the juggle between work and home.

School pick-ups, appointments, a sick kid at 6am – tell us and we'll work it out wherever we can.

That's how we treat our team too.

You'll know everyone by name, the owner picks up the phone when you call, and when you do a good job, people notice.

We're big enough to offer steady work and a real future, but small enough that you'll never feel like just another number.

A Hybrid Role – Tools + Leadership

This isn't a job where you simply turn up and get told what to do.

It's a hybrid role. Most of your week will be on the tools, but from day one you'll also have the opportunity to help run the operation.

You'll be involved in:

- Organising materials for upcoming jobs so the crew has everything they need.

- Keeping jobs on track and helping apprentices and newer sparkies.

- Communicating between the site and office regarding scheduling and job progress.

- Helping maintain our standards of workmanship and customer service.

From the Tools to Operations Manager

We're growing, and we want someone who can grow with us.

Our goal is to find the right person who eventually wants to take responsibility for running the day-to-day operations of the business.

Here's the pathway:

STEP 1 – Leading the Crew

Stay on the tools while helping organise materials, keep jobs moving and support the team in the field.

STEP 2 – Supervisor

Gradually spend less time on the tools and more time managing scheduling, quality checks and supporting the crew.





STEP 3 – Operations Manager

Take responsibility for day-to-day operations, crew scheduling, job flow, suppliers and maintaining standards across the business, with the prospect to work predominantly off the tools.

You progress as you demonstrate you're ready. We'll back you with training, mentoring and support along the way.

This is a genuine opportunity to build a long-term career, not just collect another payslip.

Bring in Work & Earn Commission

Know someone who needs electrical, air conditioning or solar work?

If you bring new business our way, you'll earn commission once the job is invoiced.

The bigger the job, the bigger your cut.

It's completely optional. No targets, no pressure.

New to Air Conditioning? No Problem!

If you've got a solid electrical background but haven't worked much with air conditioning, we're happy to train the right person.

We'll support you with training and pay for your refrigerant handling licence in full, subject to the relevant training and licensing requirements.

Expanding your skills across electrical, air conditioning and solar is a great way to build your career.

What We're Looking For

- Current unrestricted SA A-Class Electrical Worker Registration (or interstate equivalent).

- Current driver's licence.

- Solid domestic and/or commercial electrical experience.

- Someone who takes pride in their workmanship.

- Great attitude, reliability and punctuality.

- Good communication skills and respect for customers and their homes.

- Someone organised who enjoys taking responsibility.

- A genuine interest in developing leadership skills.

- Someone looking for a long-term position and wanting to grow with us.

3rd or 4th Year Apprentice?

We'd love to hear from you too!

If you're approaching the end of your apprenticeship and want a clear pathway into a licensed electrician role, get in touch. We'll discuss your progression and remuneration.

What Happens When You Apply?

It's simple, relaxed and completely confidential.

1. A quick phone conversation.

2. Come in for a coffee and have a look around the workshop.

3. Meet the team and see if we're the right fit for each other.

Your current employer won't hear about it from us.

Ready for Something Better?

If you're a great electrician who wants better pay, more flexibility, a supportive family business and a genuine opportunity to become an Operations Manager, we'd love to hear from you.

Hit APPLY or call us directly for a confidential chat.
