UGL is seeking expressions of interest from Electrical and Instrumentation (E&I) Technicians for projects across Australia. The role generally involves installing, testing, commissioning, inspecting, fault-finding and maintaining electrical, control and instrumentation systems in industrial, infrastructure, mining or energy environments. Candidates are typically expected to hold relevant Australian electrical and instrumentation qualifications, such as an electrical trade certificate, and appropriate licences. Experience with industrial equipment, cable installation, control systems, testing procedures and reading technical drawings is valuable. Strong safety awareness, communication skills, trade competence and the ability to work in teams are essential. Applicants may need to pass medical, drug and alcohol screening, hold relevant tickets and be willing to work shifts, remote rosters or travel between project locations.
UGL is an Australian engineering, construction and maintenance company and part of the CIMIC Group. It delivers major projects and operational services across transport, energy, water, resources, defence, and industrial infrastructure. UGL employs engineers, tradespeople, technicians, project professionals and support staff throughout Australia and internationally. Its work ranges from designing and building infrastructure to maintaining complex operational assets, including power, rail, mining and processing facilities. The company places strong emphasis on safety, technical capability, environmental responsibility and reliable project delivery. Employment conditions vary by project, with opportunities available in metropolitan areas, regional centres and remote locations. For E&I Technicians, UGL may offer involvement in construction, commissioning, shutdown, maintenance or long-term asset-support work, often requiring flexibility regarding travel, rosters, site conditions and working hours.
Australia offers E&I Technician opportunities in mining, energy, utilities, manufacturing, infrastructure, rail and major construction projects. Demand is often strongest in Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia, including regional and remote sites. Australian workplaces generally value punctuality, practical communication, teamwork, safety compliance and a relatively informal professional culture. Lifestyle options range from busy coastal cities to quieter regional communities, with excellent beaches, outdoor activities and generally high living costs, especially for housing. Skilled workers may explore employer-sponsored visas, including subclass 482, or permanent skilled pathways such as subclasses 189, 190 or 491, subject to occupation lists, skills assessment, English requirements and age limits. Before relocating, candidates should verify electrical licensing recognition, project-specific tickets, medical requirements, tax arrangements and accommodation. Researching rosters, transport and regional allowances is particularly important for remote work.
