Join a forward-thinking team who pride themselves on quality workmanship, eco-friendly alternatives, and delivering exceptional results for our customers.
We’re on the lookout for an experienced, motivated electrician to join the Cableworks crew — someone who takes pride in their craft, enjoys variety, and wants to grow with a company that’s all about quality, teamwork, and good energy.
Based in Kapiti, we work across Wellington, the Hutt, and Porirua — on renovations and new builds — installing solar systems, energy-efficient upgrades, EV chargers, automation systems, and switchboard modernisations. Our goal? Helping homeowners future-proof their homes.

- Leading and supporting apprentices and other team members
- Helping grow our solar division (training provided if you’re new to solar)
- Opportunities to learn quoting, solar design, and automation system programming
Working closely with clients and builders to deliver top-quality outcomes
What’s on offer:
- $40–$45+ per hour (depending on experience)

- Vehicle with flexible use, phone & tablet
- Paid day off on your birthday
- Full uniform, PPE, and wet-weathers
- Training & development (solar, automation, and more)

- 6+ years post-qualification experience
- Strong background in residential builds, renovations, and service work

- Proven experience managing jobs independently, including materials, clients, plans, and budgets
- Experience leading others or having run your own business
- Excellent communication, organisation, and problem-solving skills
