About the Role
As an Electrician on Hayman Island, no two days are ever the same. Working in a luxury resort environment means your day-to-day tasks are both diverse and rewarding. You'll be responsible for maintaining the electrical integrity of the island - from guest rooms and villas to restaurants, back-of-house facilities and high voltage infrastructure.
Your typical day might start with preventative maintenance checks, inspecting switchboards, lighting, emergency systems, and power outlets to ensure everything in compliant and running smoothly. You'll respond to maintenance requests across the resort - anything from replacing a faulty GPO in a guest room, troubleshooting a tripped circuit or repairing a lighting control system in one of our premium suites.
You will also work closely with other trades, supporting HVAC, plumbing, and building teams on shared tasks, especially where electrical connections are involved. There's a strong focus on safety, so completing risk assessments, adhering to lockout/tagout procedures and keeping maintenance records up to date are all part of our daily rhythm.
