Full Job Description

The Opportunities | Commencing September 2026 | Across NSW

We’re launching a new opportunity for electricians who want more than just the tools. Our Construction Electrician role is the perfect stepping stone for those who aspire to grow, lead, and shape the future of energy infrastructure with Transgrid, with opportunities available across all major regional depots throughout NSW, including across: Sydney, Newcastle, Orange, Wagga, Yass & Tamworth. Start dates from September 2026 onwards, with flexibility for earlier commencement if required.

You will work as part of a high-performing construction team responsible for substation installation, commissioning, and project delivery across our transmission network. You’ll be mentored by experienced leaders, exposed to a variety of major infrastructure projects, and gain the knowledge and practical experience to build a long-term career in energy infrastructure delivery.

If you’re a technically skilled electrician who thrives on learning, wants to expand into leadership, and is looking for a role that offers stability, challenge, and progression then this is your opportunity to join Transgrid’s next generation of leaders.

Please note that this role involves regular travel and working away from home across NSW and ACT during the week, pending depot and site location.

A Day in the Life at Transgrid

No two days are the same in this role. You’ll be part of our construction team, working alongside experienced Site Managers and Technicians to deliver critical substation works that keep our energy network running.

A typical week includes:

Pre-start coordination; conducting safety briefings, reviewing documentation, and planning daily work activities across multiple sites.
Field installation and commissioning; performing HV and LV electrical works, assisting in equipment testing, isolations, and commissioning under Transgrid’s standards.
Stakeholder collaboration; liaising with contractors, project managers, and internal delivery teams to ensure safe, efficient progress across all works.
Safety leadership and mentoring; promoting best practice safety culture, contributing to toolbox talks, and supporting apprentices and peers in the field.
Professional growth; spending time learning from Site Managers, gaining exposure to project planning, resource coordination, and quality assurance activities.

This role combines hands-on technical work with real opportunities to learn, lead, and progress. You’ll develop the confidence and capability to manage construction activities independently while preparing for future leadership roles within Transgrid.

About You

You are a motivated and qualified Electrician who enjoys continuous learning and contributing to large-scale infrastructure delivery. You take pride in quality and safety and have the drive to progress into leadership roles over time.

Essential Requirements:

Certificate III in Electrotechnology or equivalent Electrical Trades Course Certificate.
Strong practical knowledge of HV/LV installation, wiring, testing and commissioning.
Proven ability to interpret electrical drawings and schematics.
Willingness to travel extensively across NSW and work away from home during the week.
Excellent teamwork and communication skills with a proactive, safety-first mindset.
Current Australian Drivers License

Desirable:

Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety (or willingness to obtain).
Experience in HV, heavy industry or large infrastructure construction (rail, mining, tunnelling, utilities).
Experience as a Leading Hand or informal supervisor.

Our Process

We aim to provide a transparent and efficient recruitment experience. Please note timelines may be subject to minor changes and we will aim keep all candidates informed throughout the process.

Interviews (in person or virtual): Early - Mid July 2026
Start Date: September 2026 (Or earlier if required)

As part of our recruitment process, applicants complete standard pre‑employment assessments, including reference checks, a medical check, national police check, and a driving licence and traffic offence check. We encourage early discussions where possible. Although this role is full-time, if you are seeking part-time opportunities, we encourage you to apply. We will be launching a dedicated part-time cohort shortly and would welcome a conversation with you.

At Transgrid, our values guide how we work, lead and deliver for our customers and communities:

Safety – We put safety first in everything we do.
Achievement – We make a difference and take pride in delivering results.
Integrity – We act with honesty, fairness and accountability.
Service – We deliver for our customers and communities with respect and care.

Recognition & Reward

Employees have access to a range of corporate discounts across retail, utilities, travel, health & wellbeing etc., as well as novated leasing options, workplace flexibility, 20 weeks paid parental leave and more.

Beyond benefits, we believe in real development and progression. Here, you’ll have access to regular and ongoing training, tertiary education support, and career mentoring. Enabling you to build a career that evolves with you.
