Experienced Electrician

placeWellington calendar_month 

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.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Running residential projects — from new builds and renovations to maintenance and service work
  • Managing your own jobs from start to finish — handling materials, clients, timelines, plans, variations, and job costs
  • 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)
  • 4-day working week (no Fridays!)
  • Vehicle with flexible use, phone & tablet
  • Paid day off on your birthday
  • Full uniform, PPE, and wet-weathers
  • Training & development (solar, automation, and more)
  • Great team culture, social events, active social club & a well-stocked fridge
What we’re after:
  • NZ Registered Electrician with a current practicing license
  • 6+ years post-qualification experience
  • Strong background in residential builds, renovations, and service work
  • Solar, heat pump, and/or automation experience a bonus
  • 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
  • Someone keen to keep learning — quoting, solar design, and automation programming especially
  • Positive attitude, solid work ethic, and good banter
If you’re ready to join a growing, forward-thinking local company that values quality, people, and good energy, we’d love to hear from you.
  • Write us an epic cover letter — tell us why you’re the one for the job, and what makes you a great fit for the Cableworks crew!
