Shift Electrician – Southern Cross Station
We are returning to our roots. Since 2023 Nuvo & Ae Smith are privately owned business once more, and its an understatement to say we have gone through a bit of a transition period. We are still the same organisation that has operated for over 120 years as an Australian industry leader in HVAC, building services and electrical markets, but we have a renewed approach to the way we work and operate. As asset specialists, we understand our #1 asset is our people. We’re proud of our team’s depth and breadth of experience and with over 600 of us united in our work and our brands, it’s unsurprising our average employee tenure is market leading, but we are always keen on adding new faces to our team.
Be the first responder for one of Melbourne’s busiest and most recognisable transport hubs.
Nuvo Group is seeking an experienced and adaptable Shift Electrician to join our facilities team at Southern Cross Station. Working on behalf of Honeywell, you will help provide continuous 24/7 coverage and keep this major public facility safe, operational and moving.
This is not a conventional electrician role. You will be the first point of contact for base-building and retail faults across the station, responding to electrical issues while also supporting a diverse range of building, security, communications and general facilities systems.
You will work a five-week rotating roster comprising 12-hour day and night shifts.
Your workload will vary from day to day and include planned preventive maintenance, fault-finding, emergency response, contractor coordination and general make-safe works.
During night shifts, you will operate as a broad facilities first responder. This requires a practical, team-first attitude and a willingness to assist with tasks outside traditional electrical work such changing failed toilet seats and unblocking toilets; electrical faults; floor and tact tile repairs; make safes until morning – ie smashed glass; as when needed to keep the station safe and operational.
Preventive maintenance is allocated across the team each month and may include:
You are a capable electrician who remains calm when responding to urgent faults and enjoys working across a broad range of building systems. You understand that keeping a major transport facility operational sometimes means stepping outside a narrow trade remit and helping wherever required.
You will ideally have:
Experience within a large commercial facility, transport hub, critical environment or 24/7 maintenance operation will be highly regarded.
If you are an adaptable electrician who enjoys solving problems, learning new systems and taking ownership of site issues, we would like to hear from you.
