The E&I Supervisor oversees electrical and instrumentation installation, testing, commissioning and maintenance activities on industrial or infrastructure projects. Candidates are generally expected to hold relevant electrical or instrumentation trade qualifications, substantial site experience and strong knowledge of Australian safety standards, quality procedures and permit systems. Supervisory experience in construction, resources, energy or heavy industry is highly valued. The role requires the ability to read drawings, coordinate subcontractors, manage daily work plans, monitor progress and resolve technical or site issues. UGL will expect a safety-focused leader who can communicate effectively with the workforce, maintain high installation standards, complete documentation and work cooperatively with clients, engineers and other project teams. Remote or rostered work and a valid Australian work entitlement may also be required.
UGL is a major Australian engineering, construction and maintenance services company operating across transport, energy, resources, water, defence and industrial infrastructure. The company delivers project management, design, construction, commissioning and asset-maintenance services for government and private-sector clients. Its workforce includes engineers, tradespeople, project managers and technical specialists working on large, complex projects throughout Australia. UGL places strong emphasis on safety, quality, sustainability, technical capability and long-term client relationships. The business is part of the CIMIC Group, giving it access to significant infrastructure expertise and resources. Depending on the project, employees may work in cities, regional centres, mining areas or remote locations. An E&I Supervisor can expect a structured project environment, coordination with multiple disciplines and opportunities to build experience across major Australian infrastructure and industrial developments.
Australia offers strong opportunities for electricians, instrumentation technicians, supervisors and infrastructure specialists, particularly in mining, energy, rail, utilities, defence and major construction. Workplace culture is generally practical, safety-conscious and relatively informal, with direct communication and emphasis on teamwork. Lifestyle varies from busy coastal cities to quieter regional and remote communities; wages can be attractive, although housing and living costs are high in Sydney, Melbourne and some mining regions. Skilled workers usually need an employer-sponsored visa, such as the Skills in Demand visa, or another eligible skilled-migration pathway. Electrical and instrumentation roles may require state-based licensing, skills assessment and recognition of overseas qualifications. Relocating involves arranging accommodation, tax and banking, healthcare access and transport, especially for fly-in fly-out positions. Applicants should confirm visa sponsorship, roster, allowances, licensing and location details with UGL before accepting an offer.
