About the work

You install the electrical system of a building as it rises, from conduit in the slab to sockets and switches on the finished wall. You work from electrical layouts and single-line diagrams given by the supervisor or foreman. The employer expects neat, safe work that passes inspection the first time, and the ability to work without someone standing beside you for every step.

Ideal candidate

You have spent years on building sites and can wire a floor from the drawing without much supervision.

What is provided

  • An employment visa for this role.
  • Your flight ticket, provided by us, once you are selected.
  • Police verification is taken care of by us for this role.
