JV Recruitment is currently partnering with a premier commercial property contractor to secure top-tier electrical talent for their expanding operations across the Melbourne CBD and surrounding suburbs. We have two distinct career paths available depending on your experience and career goals: a hands-on Commercial Maintenance Electrician role and a hybrid Electrical Service & Maintenance Supervisor position.
Whether you are looking for a reliable, long-term role on the tools or you are a gun maintenance sparky ready to step up and transition into operational leadership, JV has the pathway for you.
Option 1: Electrical Service & Maintenance Supervisor (Hybrid / Pathway Off Tools)
Based out of Kensington and active CBD commercial sites, this role bridges the gap between technical expertise and leadership. You will start in a hybrid capacity—split between on and off the tools—with a structured pathway to transitioning fully off the tools as you master the portfolio. Reporting directly to the Service Manager, you will oversee preventative/reactive maintenance and minor project delivery for a high-profile commercial building portfolio.
Option 2: Commercial Maintenance Electrician (100% On the Tools)
Focusing entirely on high-volume commercial property facilities, this role puts you right on the front lines of service delivery across the Melbourne CBD. This is an immediate, ongoing opportunity for a reliable, self-motivated technician who thrives on variety, fault-finding, and delivering exceptional service across active commercial environments.
