Hiring electricians through TradeConnex

Electrical work can’t be covered by someone unlicensed, so when an electrician is missing the scope stops. We supply licensed electricians for installation, fit-off and testing, and electrical trade assistants to support them, on transport, resources and renewable energy projects.

On Sydney Metro we provided more than 100 talent, including electricians, machine operators and general labourers, for the line’s construction phases. We sourced more than 100 talent, electricians among them, for the Parramatta Light Rail, and supplied electricians to the Ravensthorpe nickel mine in WA as it reopened in 2020. On grid and solar work, we’ve placed electrical trade assistants at the Dinawan Substation and Munna Creek Solar Farm, and supplied 42 talent across mechanical and electrical scopes at Lancaster Solar Farm near Kyabram.

Electrical licences are issued by each state and territory. As part of our three-stage screening, we check every electrician’s licence is current for the state they’ll work in before they’re put forward. We supply electricians across rail, utility-scale solar, battery storage and industrial projects.
