Technical Lead Electrician – Generators & Power Systems
Melbourne Generators is experiencing rapid growth, and we're looking for an experienced A-Grade Electrician with strong, hands-on generator experience to join our team and play a key technical role in the next stage of our business.
This is not your standard electrical maintenance role.
You'll work across an exciting mix of large-scale generators, synchronised power systems, major events and concerts, essential infrastructure, industrial shutdowns, temporary power, permanent standby systems and emerging BESS technology.
We're looking for someone who knows generators, enjoys solving technical problems and wants the opportunity to take real ownership.
As our Technical Lead Electrician, you'll become one of the go-to technical people within Melbourne Generators.
Your work will include:
Generator electrical fault finding and diagnostics
Generator connections and disconnections
Testing and commissioning generator systems
Synchronising generators and setting up load-sharing systems
Programming, configuring and fault finding generator controllers
Working with ComAp controllers and remote monitoring
AMF and automatic transfer systems
Large-scale temporary electrical distribution
Major event and concert installations
Industrial shutdowns and essential infrastructure projects
Permanent standby generator installations
Load-bank testing and commissioning
BESS and hybrid power systems
Technical standby and emergency response
Developing and improving preventative maintenance programs
Investigating recurring faults and identifying root causes
Improving fleet reliability and readiness
Working directly with clients to solve technical challenges
Supporting and mentoring other team members
Helping develop our technical procedures, standards and systems
Generator experience is essential.
You must be a qualified A-Grade Electrician with a current Victorian electrical licence and have proven hands-on experience working with diesel generators and power-generation systems.
Experience with generator synchronising, load sharing, controller configuration, commissioning and complex fault finding will be highly regarded.
ComAp experience is preferred, although we also want to hear from experienced generator electricians who have worked extensively with other generator control platforms.
We're looking for someone who is:
Technically strong and confident fault finding
Organised and reliable
Safety focused
A clear communicator
Comfortable dealing directly with clients
Able to work independently and as part of a team
Willing to share their knowledge
Interested in technology and improving systems
Focused on preventative maintenance rather than simply reacting to breakdowns
You're joining us during a period of rapid growth.
Our fleet is expanding, our projects are getting larger and we're continuing to develop our capabilities across temporary power, synchronised systems, permanent standby generation and BESS.
We want someone who can bring their experience into the business and help shape how our technical operation develops as we grow.
We offer:
$130,000-170,000 + super
Company vehicle
Laptop and required technology
Salary negotiable based on experience
Varied and technically challenging work
Major event and concert projects
Large-scale generator and synchronised power systems
Essential infrastructure and industrial projects
Exposure to BESS and emerging power technologies
Genuine technical responsibility and ownership
Long-term career progression as the company expands
For the right person, the sky is the limit.
