Are you looking to ditch the "van life" and the uncertainty of short-term contracts? We are currently seeking a qualified Electrician for a clear temp-to-perm transition based at a major Government Health Precinct in Coopers Plains.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a long-term public sector career. You will begin on a 3-month initial contract ($56.95/hr) to get settled into the site, before transitioning into a permanent staff position ($90k Base). This role offers a strong financial package and prioritises your lifestyle with a structured 9-day fortnight roster.


The Financials & Benefits

  • The Transition: Start on $56.95/hr + Super for the first 3 months, then transition to a permanent base of $90k per year + Super.

  • Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a 9-day fortnight (RDO scheme)—an extra 26 days off per year.

  • Earning Potential: Easily reach $100k+ through built-in allowances, with on-call and OT opportunities available after the initial 3-month period.

  • Full Kit Provided: We provide all uniforms, high-quality boots, and the necessary tools for the job.

  • On-site Perks: Dedicated on-site parking and a paid allowance for current First Aid certificate holders.

  • Stability: Move into a secure, essential services environment with an immediate start available.


The Work

This is a general maintenance role within a Facilities Management team. You won't be dealing with heavy industrial complexity; instead, you will focus on the day-to-day upkeep of a government campus to keep the facility running smoothly.

  • General building light and power maintenance.

  • Routine testing and tagging and RCD testing.

  • Basic fault finding and repairs to lighting and power circuits.

  • Swapping out ballasts, drivers, and general electrical fittings.

  • Scheduled emergency light testing and basic repairs.

  • Assisting the broader trades team with general facility upkeep as required.


What You Need

We are looking for a reliable, safety-conscious Electrician who takes pride in maintaining high-standard public infrastructure.

  • Trade Qualified: Cert III in Electrotechnology.

  • Licensing: Valid QLD Electrical Work Licence (A-Grade).

  • Safety: Current LVR/CPR (First Aid is highly regarded).

  • Compliance: Willingness to undergo a National Police Check.

  • Health: Must provide Hep B records (the client will cover costs for any other site-required vaccinations).

  • Rights: Full Australian Working Rights.
