An Electrical Supervisor oversees the creation of electrical circuits and systems in a range of settings. You’ll supervise a team of electrical workers as they design and set up systems for use in telecommunications, signalling and power networks. Electrical Supervisors may also organise maintenance on existing systems. You might determine system requirements, be part of the design process and work with colleagues to build circuit systems.
Electrical Supervisors should have good leadership skills and be able to communicate well with a team. It’s important that you are organised and can deliver projects within deadlines. Electrical Supervisors need to have excellent attention to detail and strong problem solving abilities.
There is one course available for people who want to become an Electrical Supervisor.
Possible job outcomes:
A key area of electrical engineering is power system analysis and design. The Graduate Certificate in Power System Analysis and Design covers knowledge and skills to analyze power systems both under steady state and dynamic conditions. It will also cover in-depth principles involving power system protection and power quality analysis covering the applicable international standards. Aspects relating to system stability, including transient stability, small signal stability, frequency and voltage stability as well as measures to enhance system stability as a result of renewable systems integration will also be discussed. The learning outcomes of the course is designed to equip students with professional engineering skills and knowledge to model solutions to address power quality problems, simulate various system conditions using industry-based software and undertake design principles for effective substation and protection systems..
Average duration: 6 months.
In Australia, a full time Electrical Supervisor generally earns $1,875 per week ($97,500 annual salary) before tax. This is a median figure for full-time employees and should be considered a guide only. As you gain more experience you can expect a potentially higher salary than people who are new to the industry.
The number of people working in this industry has decreased over the last five years. There are currently 21,700 people employed in this field and many of them specialise as an Electrical Supervisor. Electrical Supervisors may find work across all regions of Australia, particularly larger towns and cities.
