General Electrical Superintendent
We are seeking an experienced General Electrical Superintendent to lead and coordinate electrical construction, installation, maintenance, and commissioning activities across multiple work areas. The successful candidate will provide strong field leadership, ensuring work is completed safely, efficiently, on schedule, and in accordance with approved drawings, specifications, codes, and quality standards. This role will involve supervising electrical supervisors, forepersons, subcontractors, and trade personnel while coordinating closely with engineering, project controls, procurement, safety, and other construction disciplines.
Key responsibilities include planning daily and weekly work activities; allocating labour, tools, materials, and equipment; reviewing electrical designs and identifying constructability issues; monitoring progress and productivity; and resolving technical or logistical challenges in a timely manner. You will oversee the installation, testing, energisation, and commissioning of electrical systems, including distribution equipment, switchgear, transformers, cabling, lighting, controls, and related infrastructure. The role also requires maintaining accurate records, supporting schedule and cost forecasting, reviewing subcontractor performance, participating in inspections, and ensuring deficiencies are corrected before handover.
Applicants should have substantial experience leading electrical construction or industrial projects, together with a recognised electrical trade qualification, technical diploma, or equivalent combination of education and experience. Demonstrated knowledge of electrical codes, safe work practices, quality assurance processes, commissioning requirements, and construction planning is essential. Strong leadership, communication, organisation, and problem-solving skills are required, along with the ability to read technical drawings and use standard project documentation and reporting systems. Experience working in large-scale, complex, or high-risk environments will be highly valued. A commitment to safety, teamwork, accountability, and continuous improvement is essential for success in this position.
