"My
journey at Electra started in 2012 as a Trainee Arborist, I came from a
logging background with no tickets/qualifications, that was soon to
change at Electra, qualified after 3 years. I continued on the Arb side
for another 4 years up-skilling myself, organising jobs, running teams,
dealing with the public improving my people skills. At this point I
decided I needed a new challenge, so I re-trained as a Line Mechanic
with the support from Electra, this was another 2 years in training.
I’m now a qualified Line Mechanic coming to up 4 years. The people at Electra whether it’s in the office or out on the field are all one team, we are friendly, helpful, hard working people, very family orientated. I have a wife and 3 kids with a mortgage but I know as long as I work hard at this company they have got me".

Across the region, we strive to (and think we’re doing an excellent job) of making Electra a fun, inclusive, challenging, innovative and safe place to work!
We pride ourselves on our core values, of Safety, Respect, Professional, Accountable and Integrity, and these values flow through every facet of work we undertake.
We work hard, but we also love to have fun, from plentiful celebrations to Line Mechanic competitions, quiz nights and family fun days, we sure know how to come together.
