Jobs come to you

When work comes up that fits your tickets and your days, you get the offer on your phone.

The extras add up

We pay the lot — you just do the work.

You're taken on as a PAYG employee, not a subbie — so there's no ABN, no invoicing and no BAS. Super and portable long service are paid on top of your hourly rate, your casual loading is already inside it, and the paperwork is ours, not yours.

+12% superon top of your rate

Paid on top of every hour you work, straight into your own fund — not held back, not part of your rate.

+2.7% portable long service (LeavePlus)on top of your rate

Registered from your first shift, so your years keep counting no matter who you're placed with.

25% casual loadingalready in your rate

Already inside your rate, in place of annual and sick leave — never below the electrical award.

Penalty rates and loadingson top of your rate

Overtime, nights and weekends paid at the right loadings, agreed before the shift — not argued about after it.

WorkCover and insurances

We're your employer, so our WorkCover and public liability cover you on every site from the first hour.

PAYG tax handled — nothing to invoice

Tax withheld each pay, no BAS, nothing to lodge. Got your own ABN? It sits alongside — this doesn't touch it.

Paid weekly, no chasing

Weekly on your approved timesheets. You never chase an invoice and you never wait on a builder's payment run.

Bonuses and referrals

We pay you to stay, and to bring good hands with you.

Most labour hire pays you for the hour and forgets you exist. Ours pays you again for sticking around — and again for every sparky you bring.

$500 every 200 hours

It keeps going — every 200 hours, for as long as you keep working with us. Roughly a bonus every four or five full weeks on the tools.

Paid on 200 worked hours, then 400, then 600, and on.

$500 extra at 1,000 hours

A one-off on top of the milestone you hit at the same time — so that one pays $1,000.

Once, at 1,000 worked hours.

$600 for every sparky you bring

No cap. If you know good hands, we want them, and we'd rather pay you than a job board.

$100 when the sparky you referred does their first job, then $500 at their first 200 worked hours.

How referrals work. Once you're verified, “Refer a mate” on your dashboard gives you two ways. Share your personal link: copy it, text it, post it. Or type their name and email and we email them the invite ourselves, tied to you. Either way, a sparky who signs up through it is credited to you automatically. No forms, no claiming it later.

Worked hours are the hours on your approved timesheets — signed off on site, the same hours you're paid for. Nothing is paid for signing up, and nothing expires.

Questions

What sparkies ask us

Pay, tickets and how matching works.

How and when do I get paid?
You're paid for the hours you work on a regular pay cycle, with penalty rates for overtime, nights and weekends. We handle super, PAYG tax and portable long service leave, so there's nothing to chase.
What hourly rate will I get?
It depends on the job. Rates move with the sector, the site and what the work asks for — tickets, clearances, shift, travel — so data-centre or HV work isn't priced like a domestic estate, and a night shift isn't priced like a day. You'll see the rate on every offer before you accept it, along with the dates, hours and site, and you're free to turn it down. Super and portable long service are paid on top, and the casual loading is already in the rate.
What licences and tickets do I need?
A current Victorian electrical licence is essential. Most commercial and data-centre sites also want a White Card, working-at-heights, EWP, LV rescue and first aid. Upload what you have when you register - we'll let you know if a site needs more.
Do I need a security clearance?
Only for some secure sites. If you hold a clearance (e.g. NV1), tell us the level and expiry - it opens up secure-site work like data-centre, government and defence. If you don't, you can flag that you're willing to obtain one.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. You choose the work that suits you. Casual, flexible, no lock-in for either side.
How do I get put forward for work?
Register once with your licences, tickets and availability. Once verified, we match you to jobs that fit and send you the details - you accept or decline.

Registration takes a few minutes. Upload your licence and tickets, set your availability, and we'll do the rest.
