Electrician Port Douglas - Swap the Commute for the Reef

Swap the traffic and the cold mornings for the reef and the rainforest — and do the kind of varied domestic and commercial work that keeps every day interesting.

BH Electrics is a busy, well-established electrical contracting business in Port Douglas, and we're after a licensed service electrician to join our crew full-time. If you've built your trade in domestic and commercial work, you're good with people and you take pride in a tidy job, this one's worth a look.

About us

We're a local, family-owned outfit, nine years in, with a solid team. Our clients are a genuinely mixed bag — resorts, pubs, builders, real estate agents, strata managers, homeowners, tourism spots and even the local barra farm. No two days are the same and the work's steady all year round.

The role

You'll be servicing and maintaining a great spread of jobs across the Douglas region — a resort one day, a pub, a home or a commercial site the next. It's hands-on, customer-facing service and maintenance work: fault-finding, repairs, installs and keeping our clients' sites running. We trust you to rock up, sort the problem and leave a tidy job behind you — with the backing of a well-run team, proper systems and a fully stocked, maintained work ute.

What you'll need

- An electrical licence

- Current driver's licence

- Solid domestic and commercial experience — service, maintenance and fault-finding across occupied homes and businesses. This is the heart of the job.

- The people skills to deal with our clients directly — a lot of our work is repeat business and you're the face of us on site

- Reliable, and takes pride in the job

Handy, but not deal-breakers

- Air-conditioning and refrigeration (ARCtick)

- Data, comms or fire tickets

Got them? Great. If not, no stress.

What's in it for you

- $45–$55/hr + super, negotiable on experience — a solid rate for steady, varied work

- Fully maintained work ute and phone

- Steady, varied work with a business that's not going anywhere

- A tight, friendly team and owners who are on the tools and in the office — not off in another state

- And the big one: you live in Port Douglas. Reef on one side, rainforest on the other, boat ramps, barra, beaches and sunshine all year. The commute's a five-minute drive with no traffic lights.

Moving to Port Douglas? The housing bit — sorted.

Port Douglas is a tight rental market, no point pretending otherwise. But this is where we can help: we work with nearly every real estate agent in town and we know the people who run them. When you're serious about the move, we'll put in a word and help get you to the front of the rental queue. We've done it for people before — one less thing to lose sleep over.
