The E&I Technician is responsible for installing, maintaining, testing and fault-finding electrical and instrumentation systems in industrial or infrastructure environments. Candidates generally need a relevant electrical, instrumentation or electrotechnology trade qualification, Australian electrical licensing where applicable, and practical experience with industrial equipment, control systems, cabling and testing procedures. Familiarity with drawings, isolation and permit systems, commissioning, preventive maintenance and workplace safety is expected. The role requires strong troubleshooting ability, attention to detail and the capacity to work independently and as part of a site team. Flexibility for remote, shutdown or roster-based work, along with sound communication and a commitment to UGL's safety and quality standards, may also be required.
UGL is an Australian engineering, construction and maintenance services company and part of the CIMIC Group. It delivers major projects and ongoing operational support across transport, energy, resources, water, defence and industrial infrastructure. Its services include design, construction, commissioning, asset maintenance, shutdown support and facility operations. UGL employs electricians, instrumentation technicians, engineers, project managers and other specialist trades across metropolitan and regional locations throughout Australia. The company works with government agencies, utilities and private-sector clients, often on technically complex and safety-critical projects. Employees are generally expected to demonstrate strong safety awareness, professional conduct, teamwork and a focus on reliable delivery. Depending on the position, work may involve construction sites, operational facilities, regional locations or fly-in fly-out rosters.
Australia offers employment opportunities in construction, mining, energy, infrastructure, manufacturing and maintenance, with skilled electrical and instrumentation workers in demand in several states. Workplace culture is generally practical, safety-focused and relatively informal, while punctuality, teamwork and clear communication are valued. Lifestyle ranges from busy coastal cities to quieter regional communities, with strong access to beaches, outdoor activities and public services. Housing and living costs can be high in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane, while regional areas may offer accommodation or site-based arrangements. Skilled workers commonly explore employer-sponsored visas, the Skilled Independent or State Nominated pathways, and temporary skilled visas; eligibility depends on qualifications, English ability, experience and occupation lists. Before relocating, confirm licensing recognition, medical and police requirements, tax arrangements, accommodation and transport. FIFO positions can provide travel and site accommodation but involve extended rosters away from home.
