About the role

At Barwon Asset Solutions, we're proud to be growing a diverse electrical maintenance team across the South West. Your work directly supports essential services for local communities, helping ensure safe and reliable water services every day.

You’ll work as part of our electrical maintenance team, taking responsibility for service outcomes that deliver high levels of customer satisfaction across the region.

Based out of our Colac depot, you’ll perform electrical maintenance and fault-finding activities on a variety of water infrastructure and assets, including treatment plants and pump stations. Working collaboratively with the Operational Technology team, you may provide support for SCADA and PLC technology faults.

As this role is based across the region, a valid drivers license is required. Successful applicants will undertake a pre-employment medical and be willing to participate in an on-call roster and occasional overtime, with support and flexibility provided.

About you

This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on work, problem solving and working in a supportive, team-based environment. Your curious nature and willingness to learn will see you grow in the role, challenging your experience across industrial, commercial or domestic sectors.

You are safety-focused, motivated and comfortable following established procedures while also identifying opportunities for improvement. You take pride in your work, approach challenges with a positive mindset and enjoy learning new skills and technologies.

You don’t need to “fit a mould” - we value people who bring different perspectives, experiences and ways of thinking. If you’re an A-Grade Electrician who can read schematic drawings and enjoys working collaboratively, we’d love to hear from you.
