Electrician

Location: Queensland
Company: Corrosion Control Engineering (CCE)
Employment: Full-time

If you're a qualified electrician or electrical/instrumentation technician who enjoys fault finding, testing, working with electrical instrumentation and getting out into the field, this could be an opportunity to take your career in a completely different direction!

CCE is looking for an Electrician / Corrosion Technician to join our Queensland team.

Previous corrosion or cathodic protection experience is not essential.

We're open to training technically capable electricians who are interested in developing expertise in the specialised field of cathodic protection and corrosion control.

You'll work alongside experienced corrosion technicians and engineers while developing the specialist knowledge and practical skills required to test, monitor, install and maintain cathodic protection systems.

For candidates who already have cathodic protection experience, we're equally interested in hearing from you and can consider appointment at a level appropriate to your experience and qualifications.

Cathodic protection is an electrical technique used to prevent corrosion and extend the life of critical infrastructure.

CCE's technicians work across assets and industries including pipelines, water infrastructure, marine environments, resources, defence and other major infrastructure.

The work involves a combination of electrical testing, instrumentation, fault finding, field measurements, system installation and technical problem solving — making electrical experience highly transferable to the role.

CCE's established technician positions undertake field measurement and testing of cathodic protection systems, installation and maintenance activities, specialised testing and technical field surveys.

With training and support from CCE, you'll learn to:

• Test, inspect and monitor cathodic protection systems.

• Use specialised electrical test equipment and instrumentation.

• Take and accurately record electrical field measurements.

• Assist with electrical fault finding and technical investigations.

• Install and maintain cathodic protection equipment and systems.

• Assist with field surveys, testing and commissioning.

• Identify system performance issues and assist with troubleshooting.

• Maintain accurate field records and technical documentation.

• Work alongside corrosion engineers and experienced technicians.

• Liaise professionally with clients and other contractors on site.

• Work across different client, infrastructure and project environments.

• Follow CCE and client safety, quality and environmental requirements.

The existing CCE technician framework also incorporates ongoing technical development and AMPP cathodic protection training.

We're particularly interested in hearing from:

• Qualified electricians looking for a new technical career direction.

• Electrical or instrumentation technicians.

• Technicians experienced in electrical testing, instrumentation, fault finding or maintenance.

• Field service technicians with strong electrical capability.

• Existing corrosion or cathodic protection technicians.

You don't need to already understand cathodic protection.

We're looking for someone who has:

• Strong electrical and technical aptitude.

• Confidence working with electrical testing equipment and instrumentation.

• Good fault-finding and problem-solving skills.

• A practical, hands-on approach.

• Strong attention to detail.

• A commitment to working safely.

• Good communication skills.

• The ability to work independently and as part of a team.

• Willingness to learn a specialist technical discipline.

• Willingness to undertake field work and travel to client/project sites as required.

• A current Australian driver's licence.

We'd like to hear from you too.

Candidates with previous cathodic protection or corrosion control experience, including relevant AMPP/NACE qualifications, may be considered at a level appropriate to their existing experience and technical capability.

CCE's existing senior technician requirements recognise experience across areas including pipelines, oil and gas, marine, water, defence and similar infrastructure.

This isn't about walking away from your electrical skills.

It's an opportunity to apply those skills in a different way and develop expertise in a niche technical field.

At CCE, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Learn from experienced corrosion engineers and technicians.

• Develop specialist cathodic protection knowledge.

• Gain exposure to specialised electrical testing and instrumentation.

• Work across interesting infrastructure and industrial assets.

• Undertake further industry training and development.

• Work towards relevant AMPP cathodic protection certification.

• Build a long-term career within a specialised engineering discipline.

Corrosion Control Engineering specialises in corrosion prevention and cathodic protection solutions.

Our people work across technically challenging projects and critical infrastructure, combining engineering knowledge with practical field capability.

We're looking for people who are curious, technically minded, safety focused and interested in becoming specialists in what they do.

If you're an electrician or electrical technician who's been thinking "I'd like to do something different with my trade", we'd love to hear from you.
