A-Grade Electrician (Solar + Projects)

The Role

An owner-led electrical outfit in Adelaide is looking for an A-Grade Electrician with solar and battery experience to join their small, high-trust crew.

You’ll be dispatched to jobs and expected to run them end-to-end — scope, materials, execution, sign-off. No hand-holding. No constant calls. Just a capable sparky who can land on a site and deliver clean work.

The work is varied: solar and battery installs one day, a commercial fit-out the next, then maybe a specialty automation or large-format LED project. If you’re a one-trick pony, this isn’t the gig. If you thrive on variety, read on.

$55–$65/hr + Super | Company vehicle (personal use OK) | Flexible week (4-day or standard Mon–Fri) | Weekend work available, not mandatory

The Work

Expect a roughly 50/50 split between solar/battery and broader electrical project work:

Solar & Battery

Full home backup solar + battery systems
Residential and commercial solar installs
Solar auditing, compliance checks, and rectification of other installers’ work
Target: ~15–20kW solar + full home backup job per week as baseline

Electrical Projects

Residential new builds for builders
Commercial fit-outs and upgrades (offices, retail, hospitality)
Sports lighting and large-format LED screen installs
Custom automation work (lighting control, RGB features, specialty one-offs)
Fault-finding and “damage control” rectification on other contractors’ work

Coverage

Adelaide-wide — from the Hills through to Port Adelaide, Outer Harbor, and surrounding areas. Some regional work (wineries, specialty sites).
