About the role

Looking for more than just another technician role?

Join Zinfra's Gas Transmission Operations team and build a specialist career protecting critical energy infrastructure through cathodic protection and corrosion management. Whether you're an Electrician looking to diversify your skills or an experienced CP Technician seeking greater autonomy, this role offers the opportunity to develop expertise in a niche, highly valued discipline within the energy sector.

Based from Greystanes, you'll spend most of your time in the field, managing your own schedule and working across a diverse range of transmission pipeline assets. With a strong focus on learning, development and long-term career growth, you'll gain hands-on experience in corrosion control, pipeline integrity and asset protection that can open doors across the energy, utilities and infrastructure sectors.

Key Responsibilities include

• Perform cathodic protection testing, monitoring and inspections across gas transmission assets
• Deliver planned, preventative and corrective maintenance activities
• Support commissioning and testing of new infrastructure and asset upgrades
• Conduct interference testing and liaise with external asset owners and stakeholders
• Investigate faults and support repairs of cathodic protection systems, transformers and associated equipment
• Maintain accurate records and contribute to the ongoing integrity and performance of critical infrastructure

• Supportive team environment with a strong depot and social culture
• 20 days annual leave plus 10+ days personal leave

About You

You may already have cathodic protection experience, or you may be an electrical tradesperson looking to move into a specialist field.

You're a self-motivated problem solver who enjoys working independently, taking ownership of your work, and being out in the field rather than behind a desk. You'll be comfortable managing your own schedule while working safely across critical energy infrastructure assets. You will bring:

• Electrical Trade Qualification and current Electrical Licence, and/or Cathodic Protection certification (NACE Level 1 or equivalent preferred)
• Exposure to cathodic protection systems, electrical maintenance, asset integrity, or corrosion-related activities
• Experience within utilities, energy, infrastructure, mining, rail, water or related industries
• Comfortable working independently in the field and managing your own schedule
• Current driver’s licence and White Card
