Job Expectations

Be part of transforming Australia’s digital landscape as a Customer Field Technician. In this customer‑facing role, you’ll make a real difference to everyday Australians and see first‑hand the impact your work has on customers.

Are you an electrical tradesperson, apprentice, or trade assistant looking to take the next step in your career? Whether you’re early in your trade, fully qualified, or bringing hands-on cabling and site experience, this role offers the opportunity to build, apply, and grow your technical capability in a field-based environment with clear development pathways.

A bit about your role

As a Customer Field Technician, you’ll deliver hands‑on installation, repair, activation and connection services in customers’ homes, working across both indoor and outdoor environments. You’ll use a variety of tools and test equipment to install, commission and service in‑home technologies, consistently applying safe work practices and risk controls onsite.

This is an active, field‑based role involving tasks such as lifting and carrying equipment, working at heights or in ceiling spaces, and moving between kneeling and standing positions. You’ll apply strong technical knowledge, methodical fault‑finding and attention to detail to complete work efficiently, safely and to a high standard across varied home settings.

Alongside technical work, you’ll provide clear and respectful in‑premise customer service—explaining findings, next steps and outcomes so customers feel informed and confident. You’ll also have opportunities to build your capability across additional activation and connection tasks through structured training and support from experienced colleagues.

A bit about you

You may be an electrical trade assistant, apprentice, or qualified tradesperson with experience working onsite in residential and/or commercial environments. You bring practical, hands-on experience using tools, installing or assisting with cabling, preparing sites, and supporting electrical or technical works in physically active settings.

You understand the importance of completing work safely onsite and consistently follow safety procedures, risk assessments, and work instructions. You’re comfortable performing physically demanding tasks, adapting to different environments, and maintaining focus while completing technical or repetitive work to a high standard.

You communicate clearly, work respectfully in customers’ homes and businesses, and collaborate effectively with others. You’re open to learning, adaptable, and motivated to build or further develop a long-term technical career. A current driver’s licence is essential, supporting your ability to work in a mobile, field-based role.

If you are reliable, safety-focused, and enjoy solving practical problems in the field, this role offers a strong pathway into ongoing technical opportunities with full training and support provided.
