YOUR NEXT MOVE
AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRICIAN
If you want more than routine auto-electrical work, this is the role for you. You’ll work across a diverse range of custom vehicle builds such as heavy trucks, trailers, and light vehicles, fitting and commissioning complex electrical systems from wiring and lighting through to hydraulics, telematics, GPS, and CANBUS. Based in Hazelmere alongside an experienced fabrication and production team, you’ll be the go-to for everything electrical on vehicles that go out and work hard across WA. No two builds are the same, and your expertise shapes every one of them.

ABOUT THE ROLE
WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS
As TL Engineering’s custom vehicle builds become increasingly sophisticated, expert electrical integration has become central to what we deliver.

From developing schematics and installing complex control systems, to diagnosing faults and supporting pre-delivery sign-off, you’ll work across the full electrical lifecycle of each custom build. It’s one of the most technically varied automotive electrical roles available in Perth – and you’ll have the backing of a team that values the skills required to do it properly.
