Brunel is partnering with Western Power to recruit experienced UK Line Workers who are ready to relocate to Western Australia.
Join Western Power, the organization powering the transition to renewable energy across one of the world's largest and most dynamic electricity networks. Through our partnership, Brunel is supporting Western Power in identifying skilled Line Workers across the UK who are ready for a life-changing move to Australia.
Why Western Australia?
* Give your family more — more sunshine, space, and time together. Swap the daily rush for weekend barbecues, beaches, and spaces where kids can thrive and explore.
* Enjoy shorter commutes and strong, welcoming communities where family life comes first, and work fits around it — not the other way around.
* Build a stable future with a company that invests in your development, offering pathways for progression and long-term security for you and your loved ones.
Your Role in Action
* As a Line worker, you'll be responsible for constructing and maintaining Western Power's transmission and distribution networks, responding quickly to faults to minimise disruptions, and ensuring quality, safety, and reliability across the grid.
* Attend and rectify faults to restore supply quickly.
* Complete construction and maintenance to Western Power standards.
* Participate in pre-job planning to identify and mitigate risks.
* Maintain strong customer relationships while representing Western Power in the field.
You'll work a 37.5-hour week (Monday to Friday) — giving you the balance to enjoy life outside of work, with overtime opportunities available for those who want to earn more.
