Electrical Apprentice – Crane Technician
Location: Welshpool, WA
About the Role
Safe Lifting Australia is seeking a motivated 1st or 2nd Year Electrical Apprentice to join our growing team as a Crane Technician.
This is not a standard electrical role. Working on cranes and lifting equipment combines electrical fault finding with significant mechanical work, giving you the opportunity to develop a unique and highly specialised skillset.
One day you may be troubleshooting electrical control systems or wiring a contactor, and the next you could be stripping down a gearbox or assisting with hoist rebuilds. The work is varied, hands-on and highly rewarding.
You will work alongside experienced technicians on overhead cranes, hoists, lifting systems and industrial equipment across a wide range of industries including mining, manufacturing, ports and oil & gas.
The role also includes site work and occasional travel, giving you exposure to different facilities and equipment across Western Australia.
What You'll Be Doing
* Assisting with the installation, servicing and repair of cranes and lifting equipment
* Supporting technicians with electrical fault finding, wiring and control systems
* Assisting with mechanical repairs including hoists, gearboxes, brakes and drive systems
* Carrying out inspections and preventative maintenance on cranes and lifting equipment
* Working with the team to ensure equipment remains safe, reliable and compliant
* Maintaining high safety standards on site and in the workshop
* Participating in ongoing technical training and skills development
What We're Looking For
* Currently undertaking (or willing to start) an Electrical Apprenticeship
* Strong interest in hands-on mechanical and electrical work
* Good problem-solving ability and technical curiosity
* Strong attention to detail and commitment to safety
* Positive attitude and ability to work well within a team
* Willingness to work overtime and travel to sites when required
What We Offer
At Safe Lifting Australia, you'll join a supportive, skilled team that enjoys working together and taking pride in what we do.
We offer:
* A diverse role combining electrical and mechanical skills
* Exposure to specialised crane and lifting equipment
* Overtime opportunities and competitive remuneration
* Ongoing training and career development
* Opportunities to grow within a rapidly expanding company
