Are you looking to move away from the uncertainty of short-term contracts? We are seeking qualified Maintenance Electricians to join the Facilities Management team at a major Government Health Precinct in Herston.

These positions focus on general facility maintenance across hospital buildings and wards, keeping critical healthcare infrastructure running smoothly. The roles come with a 6-month guarantee, with a high likelihood of contract extension or transition to permanency based on performance.

The Financials & Balance

  • The Rate: $56.95/hr + Super (processed on a reliable fortnightly pay cycle).

  • Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a structured 9-day fortnight roster (an extra 26 days off per year).

  • Stable Hours: Structured, day-shift hours working from 7:00 AM until 4:00 PM with no mandatory on-call or overtime requirements.

  • Career Security: Secure a long-term footprint within the public health sector with real pathways to permanent staff roles.

The Work

This is a general facility maintenance role within a clinical campus environment. You will be dealing with day-to-day electrical upkeep rather than heavy industrial complexity.

  • Fault-finding, diagnostics, and repairs to general lighting and power circuits across hospital wards and buildings.

  • Scheduled emergency light testing and basic repairs.

  • Working safely within a live healthcare facility while adhering to strict government safety standards.

  • Collaborating with a multidisciplinary trades team to keep essential hospital services online.

What You Need

We are looking for reliable, safety-conscious Electricians who take pride in maintaining high-standard public infrastructure.

  • Trade Qualified: Cert III in Electrotechnology.

  • Licensing: Valid QLD Electrical Work Licence (A-Grade).
