The E&I Supervisor oversees electrical and instrumentation installation, commissioning, testing and maintenance activities on UGL projects in Australia. Requirements typically include relevant electrical or instrumentation trade qualifications, strong experience supervising industrial or infrastructure projects, knowledge of Australian standards, construction procedures and permit systems, and the ability to interpret drawings and technical documentation. The successful candidate is expected to lead trades teams, coordinate subcontractors, manage daily work plans, monitor quality and progress, enforce health and safety requirements, resolve site issues and maintain accurate records. Strong communication, leadership, planning and problem-solving skills are essential. A current Australian work entitlement, relevant licences and experience in FIFO, shutdown or major project environments may also be required.

Its projects often involve demanding environments where safety, quality, environmental responsibility and reliable delivery are central priorities. UGL is part of the CIMIC Group, one of Australia’s larger infrastructure and services organisations.

Australia offers opportunities for electrical and instrumentation supervisors in infrastructure, mining, energy, renewables, utilities, transport and industrial maintenance. Demand is particularly strong in Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales and the Northern Territory, although many roles involve FIFO arrangements from major cities. Australian workplace culture is generally direct, safety-focused and team-oriented, with strong expectations around punctuality, communication and compliance. Lifestyle options range from vibrant cities and beaches to regional communities and remote project camps. Living costs, especially housing, can be high in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane, so relocation budgets should be planned carefully. Skilled workers may enter through employer-sponsored visas, skilled migration pathways or temporary project visas, depending on qualifications and experience. Applicants should confirm trade recognition, electrical licensing, English requirements and health checks before moving. Secure employment, accommodation, transport and tax advice before arrival, and research local licensing rules for the state where the job is based.
