About the role
C
Kimberley Regional Service Providers (KRSP) is looking for an experienced and detail-focused Industrial Electrician to join our workshop team in Forrestdale.
If you’re a qualified electrician who takes pride in exceptionally neat cable runs, accurate installations and getting the finer details right, we’d love to hear from you.
This is a hands-on, workshop-based role where you’ll be working on purpose-built Standalone Power System (SPS) control rooms that provide essential power to remote communities across Western Australia’s Kimberley region.
This isn’t a typical maintenance or breakdown electrician role. The majority of your time will be spent interpreting electrical drawings and specifications, installing cable containment systems, running and terminating cables, and completing high-quality electrical fit-outs.
We’re looking for someone who enjoys this type of work, understands the importance of precision and consistency, and takes genuine pride in the finished product.
About KRSP
Kimberley Regional Service Providers Pty Ltd (KRSP) delivers essential services, capital works, and municipal services to Indigenous communities across Western Australia’s remote Kimberley region.
KRSP manages and maintains power, water, and wastewater infrastructure across remote communities, while also delivering critical maintenance and capital works that support the ongoing reliability of essential services and improve the quality of life of the communities we serve.
Operating from our Broome headquarters, with workshops in Broome and Perth, KRSP has built a strong reputation for dependability, high-quality workmanship, and professional service.
Our Perth workshop plays an important role in manufacturing and fitting out specialised infrastructure before it is transported and installed in remote locations.
About the Role
Working as part of our workshop team, you’ll be responsible for completing electrical installations within prefabricated SPS control rooms, following established drawings, layouts and specifications.
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
- Reading and interpreting electrical drawings, general arrangement (GA) drawings, single-line diagrams (SLDs) and cable layouts.
- Installing cable trays, ladders, conduits, supports and other cable management systems.
- Measuring, routing, securing and terminating electrical cables in accordance with approved drawings and specifications.
- Producing clean, organised and consistently high-quality cable installations.
- Installing and wiring switchboards, distribution boards, control panels and associated electrical equipment.
- Installing earthing, surge protection and lightning protection systems.
- Carrying out electrical testing and verification within your qualifications and authorisations.
- Identifying discrepancies in drawings or specifications and communicating these with supervisors before proceeding.
- Working efficiently while maintaining a high standard of accuracy, workmanship and safety.
- Assisting with other workshop electrical projects as required.
While there may be opportunities to assist with testing, commissioning and occasional remote projects, the primary focus of this position is electrical installation and fit-out work within our Forrestdale workshop.
About You
We’re looking for a practical, reliable and skilled tradesperson who is comfortable working from detailed drawings and enjoys hands-on installation work.
You don’t need to be an expert in every aspect of industrial electrical systems, but you do need to be confident in your trade, capable of following technical specifications and committed to producing quality work.
To be successful, you’ll need:
- Current WA Electrical Worker’s Licence (Electrician Grade A).
- Experience in industrial electrical installations, switchboard fit-outs, control panel wiring or similar work.
- Strong ability to read, interpret and work accurately from electrical drawings and specifications.
- Proven experience with cable installation, routing, termination and cable management.
- Excellent attention to detail and pride in neat, professional workmanship.
- Ability to work efficiently and independently while following established installation requirements.
- A strong commitment to safe work practices.
- Good communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively within a small team.
- Current C Class driver’s licence.
Highly regarded:
- Experience with prefabricated electrical rooms, switch rooms, modular buildings or industrial control systems.
- Experience with power generation or standalone power systems.
- Experience with industrial control panels, switchboards or containerised electrical installations.
- Familiarity with cable support systems, electrical earthing and industrial installation practices.
- Current First Aid, CPR and Low Voltage Rescue certification.
What’s on Offer?
- Permanent, full-time employment based in Forrestdale.
- Monday to Friday roster – no regular FIFO or remote roster.
- A workshop environment with interesting, purpose-built electrical projects.
- The opportunity to focus on quality installations and develop your skills across specialised electrical systems.
- A supportive team where attention to detail and good workmanship are valued.
- The satisfaction of contributing to infrastructure that provides essential services to remote Kimberley communities.
