Electrician (Critical InfrastructureUPS Technician)

About Secure Bits  

Secure Bits is a rapidly expanding, privately owned, family-run business. We operate across the country from offices in Canberra, Melbourne, and Sydney. Our client portfolio is primarily made up of government and government-affiliated organisations, with a strong focus on critical infrastructure such as data centres, airports and seaports, government facilities, and hospitals. This role will involve contributing to the growing sectors of data centres and critical power systems. 

About the role 

At Secure Bits our Electricians are responsible for the installation, maintenance, and repair of critical electrical systems and equipment, ensuring all work complies with Australian standards and safety regulations.   

The team that this role sits within is a multi-disciplinary team where you will work alongside engineers and tradespeople to deliver the required outcomes. It is not a traditional role; you will be able to upskill from the team around you and offer your expertise in return.  

This role is focused on critical infrastructure environments with some exposure to commercial and industrial locations. The tasks involve installations, fault diagnosis, preventative maintenance, and the provision of technical expertise to support electrical operations. Success in the role requires a strong focus on safety, excellent problem-solving skills, and high attention to detail. You’ll need to be comfortable working independently as well as part of a team, often in dynamic and high-security environments.  

Our Electricians regularly travel to major cities across Australia to perform installation and maintenance work. The ability to regularly travel for up to 5 consecutive business days at a time is essential, typically up to once a fortnight. All business expenses, including meals, travel, and accommodation are covered. When not on the road, you’ll work from our office or workshop, contributing to a range of support activities, including:  

• Collaborating on design reviews and completing installation reports  

• Preparing and scheduling upcoming installation and maintenance trips  

• Supporting activities in the manufacturing workshop  

• Operating machinery used to manufacture items for electrical installations  

If you're self-motivated, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and enjoy variety in your day—from hands-on installation to design collaboration—this is the role for you.

What desirable attributes should you have?

Experience in high-security or complex environments, familiarity with UPS, power distribution, automation, and lighting systems, mentoring apprentices, and attention to detail with the ability to work independently are highly regarded.
