Multiple Roles | Casual, Part-Time & Full-Time | Melbourne

Bright Spark Recruitment is currently working with several TAFEs and specialist training providers across Melbourne who are expanding their electrical training teams.

In what feels like a perfect storm of demand, we currently have 5–8 Electrical Trade Trainer roles available across:

• Defence training programs
• TAFE institutes
• Private RTOs
• School-based apprenticeship programs

These roles across several organisations involve delivering training to Defence personnel, apprentices, pre-apprenticeship students, and secondary school students across a range of electrical programs.

If you’ve ever thought about moving off the tools and passing on your knowledge — this could be the right time.

The Role – What You’ll Be Teaching

You’ll deliver hands-on electrical training that mirrors real-world industry practice, including:

• Electrical fitting, WHS, and sustainable work practices
• Electrical control circuits and introductory PLC concepts
• Reading and interpreting drawings, diagrams, and specifications
• Connecting, terminating, and testing low-voltage electrical equipment
• Fault finding in single and multi-path circuits
• Working with AC/DC circuits, transformers, and rotating machines
• Refrigeration – Electrotechnology
• Isolation, testing, and troubleshooting of LV circuits
• Compliance testing and functional verification

You’ll run practical workshop sessions, support students in developing technical skills, and contribute to maintaining high-quality training delivery.

About You

You might currently be:

An Electrician
or
An Electrical Fitter / Industrial Electrician

with experience in areas such as:

• Automation or PLC environments
• Refrigeration
• Plant and machinery
• Control panels
• Industrial electrical systems

If you enjoy explaining how things work and helping others develop their skills, training can be a highly rewarding career move.

• Electrical trade qualification (Certificate III or higher)
• Electrical licence (or equivalent industry experience)
• Certificate IV in Training & Assessment (or currently working towards it)
• Current industry knowledge and vocational competency
• Strong communication skills and a safety-first mindset

Experience with control systems, PLCs, or refrigeration is highly valued but not essential.

• Casual, part-time, and full-time roles available
• Well-equipped workshops and structured training environments
