Industrial Electrician

About Us

Kimberley Regional Service Providers (KRSP) delivers essential services, capital works, and municipal services to Indigenous communities across Western Australia’s remote Kimberley region, including power, water and wastewater systems and critical infrastructure upgrades that enhance community living standards.

Operating from Broome with additional support from Perth, KRSP is known for reliable delivery, high-quality workmanship and a practical, solutions-focused approach. Our in-house teams deliver projects end-to-end across electrical, mechanical, civil and structural disciplines.

About the Role

KRSP is seeking a fully qualified, experienced and motivated Industrial Electrician with an instrumentation background to join its Capital Works team.

Reporting to the Capital Works Supervisor, you will form part of a multi-trade team delivering complete project works across remote communities. KRSP delivers all aspects of these projects in-house, requiring strong collaboration across electrical, mechanical, civil and structural teams to achieve integrated project outcomes.

Within this role, you will undertake industrial electrical and instrumentation works associated with the upgrade and installation of essential infrastructure across power generation, water and wastewater systems, treatment and disinfection processes, and telemetry and SCADA systems.

You will be involved in all stages of project delivery, including:

Site mobilisation and preparation, including planning, logistics coordination and set-up

Pre-installation works, system layout and preparation of materials and equipment

Installation and termination of electrical and instrumentation systems

Panel work, cable running, terminations and field device installation

Programming, configuration and integration of control and automation systems

Testing, fault finding, validation and commissioning activities

Final handover, verification and completion of documentation

Projects include upgrades and new installations across:

Diesel-only power stations and hybrid power stations

Hybrid systems incorporating solar PV, battery energy storage and diesel generation

Power distribution systems, switchboards, MCCs and associated control infrastructure

Potable water systems including bore fields, pumping stations and storage (ground and elevated)

Water filtration, treatment and disinfection plants

Wastewater treatment plants, pump stations and associated infrastructure

Telemetry, communications networks and SCADA systems for monitoring and control

You will also work across both new installations and upgrades to existing infrastructure, often in live environments. This requires strong planning, isolation procedures, and a high level of safety awareness to ensure continuity of essential services.

You will be expected to adapt to varying site conditions, work with limited resources at times, and apply practical problem-solving skills to deliver outcomes in remote environments where support may not be immediately available.

As part of KRSP’s Capital Works team, your responsibilities will include:

Delivering a broad range of industrial electrical and instrumentation services across capital works projects

Supporting multi-trade project teams, including assisting with civil, concrete and earthworks activities where required

Installing, terminating and testing electrical and instrumentation systems to required standards

Carrying out cable installation, gland and termination works, and panel wiring

Identifying, troubleshooting and rectifying electrical, instrumentation and control faults across a range of systems

Assisting with the installation, configuration and commissioning of telemetry, control and SCADA systems

Supporting programming and configuration of PLC-based and automated systems where required

Reading and interpreting technical drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams and project documentation

Ensuring all works are completed in accordance with relevant standards, specifications and safety requirements

Completing all required project documentation, including commissioning records, safety documentation, SWMS and reports

Maintaining high standards of workmanship, organisation and attention to detail

Participating in pre-start meetings, toolbox talks, risk assessments and job planning activities

Communicating effectively with supervisors, team members and other trades to ensure coordinated delivery of works

Assisting with on-site problem solving and resolving technical issues efficiently and safely

Supporting commissioning, testing and handover of systems to operational teams

Maintaining tools, equipment and work areas in a safe, clean and serviceable condition

Assisting with material management, stock control and ensuring required resources are available on-site

Contributing to and promoting a strong safety culture at all times

Adhering to company policies, procedures and client site requirements

Working Environment & Project Conditions

This role involves working across remote and regional locations in the Kimberley, often in environments that require flexibility, resilience and a proactive approach.

You will be working:

In remote communities with limited access to immediate external support

Kimberley-based applicants or those willing to relocate are strongly encouraged to apply

Working in remote environments requires resilience, adaptability and the ability to work in varying conditions, including heat, dust, travel on unsealed roads and working in isolated locations.

You must be comfortable working away from home for extended periods and capable of managing the physical and environmental demands associated with remote work.

About You

You will demonstrate a strong work ethic, integrity and commitment to safe work practices, along with a positive attitude and the ability to adapt to changing project environments.
