Job description

At Ridley, we are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace where every employee is valued and respected. As Australia’s leading provider of animal nutrition solutions, we have played a vital role in supporting the agricultural industry and broader food chain for over 30 years. Our culture is one of collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced and safety-focused Maintenance Electrician to join our team at our Lara site.

In this hands-on role, you will be responsible for maintaining, repairing and improving plant equipment to ensure our manufacturing facility operates safely, reliably and efficiently. Working closely with the Maintenance, Production and Engineering teams, you'll help minimise downtime, improve equipment reliability and support continuous improvement across the site.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Carry out preventative and breakdown maintenance on electrical plant and equipment.
  • Diagnose faults and complete repairs to minimise production downtime.
  • Install, maintain and commission electrical equipment and control systems.
  • Perform fault finding on motors, PLCs, VSDs, instrumentation and associated equipment.
  • Complete planned maintenance activities through the site's maintenance management system.
  • Identify equipment improvement opportunities and recommend solutions to improve reliability and performance.
  • Maintain accurate maintenance records and complete required documentation.
  • Work collaboratively with Production, Maintenance and Engineering teams to support safe and efficient operations.
  • Participate in continuous improvement initiatives across the site.
  • Follow all safety, quality and environmental procedures.

About You

You are a qualified Electrician with strong fault-finding skills who enjoys solving problems and working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. You take pride in working safely and delivering high-quality maintenance outcomes.

To be successful, you will have:

  • An Electrical Trade qualification and current A-Class Electrical Licence.
  • Experience in a manufacturing or industrial maintenance environment.
  • Strong fault-finding and troubleshooting skills.
  • Experience working with PLCs, VSDs, motors and industrial control systems.
  • The ability to read electrical drawings and wiring diagrams.
  • A current Driver's Licence.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
  • A commitment to workplace safety and continuous improvement.

The following would be advantageous but are not essential:

  • Experience with Allen Bradley PLCs, SCADA or industrial instrumentation.
  • Experience using computerised maintenance management systems (CMMS).
  • Five or more years' experience in a manufacturing or process environment.

Why Join Ridley?

At Ridley, we invest in our people and offer:

  • Competitive employee benefits.
  • Ongoing training and professional development.
  • A supportive and collaborative team environment.
  • Career development opportunities within a leading Australian agribusiness.
  • A workplace where safety, teamwork and continuous improvement are part of everything we do.

As part of this role, you will also have the opportunity to work overtime and participate in an on-call roster to support plant operations and breakdown maintenance.

Applicants must have unrestricted Australian work rights. Shortlisted candidates will be required to complete background checks and a pre-employment medical, including drug and alcohol testing.

Ridley prides itself on being an equal opportunity employer.
