Job Description

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.
