Title:  Electrical Supervisor

The Project

The consortium of John Holland, Bouygues Construction, Arcadis Australia, Jacobs and Ventia has been selected to build South Australia's biggest-ever road infrastructure project. In partnership with the South Australian Government, this consortium forms the Torrens to Darlington (T2D) Alliance.

The Torrens to Darlington (T2D) Alliance, will deliver the final 10.5km section of the North-South Corridor, forming a continuous 78 km, non-stop, traffic light-free motorway, and contributing to a long-lasting legacy for the community and people of Adelaide.

The T2D Project involves constructing two separate tunnels – the Southern Tunnels and the Northern Tunnels connected by an open motorway, with a combined total distance of 10.5km, open to traffic in 2031.  The T2D project comprises the tunnels, surface works including road and bridge construction in addition to services buildings and complex mechanical and electrical infrastructure. The T2D Alliance is committed to providing opportunities for local people, Aboriginal workers, apprentices, trainees and job seekers who are long-term unemployed and offers people an incredible opportunity to be a part of an iconic project.

• Monitor progress of works against the construction program and report updates to project leadership
• Work closely with engineering teams to resolve technical and interface issues
• Conduct site inspections and quality assurance checks to ensure compliance with project standards
• Identify risks, constraints, and access challenges associated with tunnel construction and implement mitigation strategies
• Promote and maintain a strong safety culture, ensuring compliance with WHS requirements, particularly in underground work environments
• Maintain clear communication with project teams and subcontractors to ensure efficient delivery

About You

• Electrical trade qualification with relevant licences
• Demonstrated experience supervising electrical works on large infrastructure or construction projects
• Experience working on tunnelling or underground infrastructure projects will be highly regarded
