About the Role

Nqpetro is a leading installation, maintenance, and service provider in the petroleum industry. We have an exciting full-time opportunity for a skilled and motivated Service Technician / Electrician to join our Cairns team.

In this mobile role, you’ll be responsible for ensuring the reliable and efficient operation of fuel systems and associated electrical infrastructure across Far North Queensland. You’ll diagnose and repair equipment, conduct preventative maintenance, and respond to urgent service requests – keeping our clients' critical fuel facilities running safely and smoothly.

• Collaborate with team members and provide excellent customer service to clients

What We’re Looking For

• Qualified Electrician with a valid Electrical Licence

• Strong mechanical aptitude – this role is not a typical “electrical-only” position.
  You’ll often draw on your mechanical knowledge to identify and fix non-electrical issues such as pump, hose, or other faults within complex fuel systems.

• 3–5 years’ experience as a Service Technician / Electrician in industrial or commercial settings (fuel systems experience highly regarded)

• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team

• Excellent communication and customer service skills

• Commitment to safety with a proactive approach to identifying and mitigating risks
