Need ACT-licenced electrician

$10

Gilmore ACT 2905, Australia

4th Nov 2026

We’re installing a 30ft expandable (fold-out) home in Gillmore, ACT. The home is fully wired and tested at the factory to Australian standards. We need a licensed electrician to finish the fit-off once the home is in position. Our crew handles the placement and set-up, and the footings are being arranged separately. What’s already done (confirmed by the manufacturer) All the wiring is in place. There is a sub-board inside the home, so you don’t need to supply a switchboard. There’s a 32 amp plug on the outside of the home that feeds the sub-board. The power points and light fittings are supplied with the home, so you don’t need to source them. The home has been tested to Australian standards. Your scope of work Fit off the power points and lights on the external wings. These are the fold-out sections, and the fittings are supplied. Supply and install smoke alarm(s) that meet current ACT requirements. Connect and energise the home via the 32 amp external plug and sub-board. Test the whole installation. Issue the electrical compliance or safety certificate needed for the ACT. Report any faults you find on testing. Please note There’s no compliance certificate or wiring diagram from the manufacturer, only a note that it’s tested to Australian standards. Please tell us what you need to certify it. The manufacturer says the site power supply (meter, trenching, main supply) is up to the owner and doesn’t think it’s part of your job. We haven’t confirmed this, so please look at it when you quote, and price it as optional if you can do it. The home isn't installed yet, there are only the footings on site. It's a 30ft expandable that arrives pre-plumbed/wired, so the job is just connecting it to the site services. Bid is for a call, please let me know what else you need to quote.
