If you’re a contractor, builder, or project manager in WA, you already know how hard it is to find and keep good electricians. Projects are booming, demand is out of control and job ads alone aren’t cutting it.

That’s where we come in.

At HJ Recruitment, we specialise in electrical recruitment across Perth and regional WA, helping businesses secure permanent, licensed sparkies who are ready to work and actually show up.

Here’s how we do it, who we place, and why companies across WA trust us to deliver.

Why Electrical Hiring Is So Competitive in Perth Right Now

Between major mining shutdowns, commercial builds, and infrastructure projects, WA is facing a critical shortage of electricians in 2025.

The market is stretched because:

FIFO roles are pulling talent away from metro
Licensed sparkies are in short supply across WA
EEHA-certified sparkies are being poached before they hit the ground

If you're still relying on job boards to hire electricians in Perth you're already behind.
