UGL is seeking distribution, glove and barrier lineworkers for electrical network work across Australia. Candidates are generally expected to hold relevant electrical trade qualifications, lineworker experience and the ability to work safely on overhead distribution systems. Experience with live-line work, glove-and-barrier techniques, elevated work platforms and network construction is highly desirable. Applicants may need appropriate electrical licences, a current driver licence, medical clearance and drug and alcohol screening. The role requires strong safety awareness, physical fitness, teamwork and willingness to work outdoors, travel to project locations, undertake standby or rostered work and comply with strict utility and UGL procedures.
UGL is an Australian infrastructure and engineering services company and part of the CIMIC Group. It delivers major projects and maintenance services across power, utilities, transport, resources, defence, communications and industrial sectors. UGL works with government agencies, network operators and private clients to design, build, operate and maintain essential infrastructure. Its power business supports electricity generation, transmission and distribution, including network construction, maintenance and specialised electrical services. The company employs a large technical and field workforce, including engineers, project managers, technicians and skilled tradespeople. UGL places strong emphasis on safety, quality, environmental responsibility and collaborative project delivery. Opportunities can involve metropolitan, regional and remote locations, with work arrangements varying by project and client requirements.
Australia offers lineworker and electrical infrastructure opportunities through utilities, contractors, mining companies and major infrastructure programs, particularly in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia. The culture is generally informal, practical and safety-focused, with strong workplace rights and multicultural communities. Lifestyle ranges from busy cities and coastal living to remote project camps; housing and transport costs can be high in major centres. Skilled workers may explore employer-sponsored visas, the Temporary Skill Shortage pathway, regional visas or other skilled migration options, depending on qualifications, occupation lists and current immigration rules. Overseas applicants should confirm electrical licence recognition with the relevant state authority, as requirements differ. Plan for medical checks, police clearances, English evidence and trade assessments where required. Relocation packages, accommodation and flights may be available for remote or rostered UGL projects.
