Warehousing and logistics
Warehouse and logistics electricians
Distribution centres are big, fast and full of forklifts. We supply electricians used to working at height in an operating warehouse without stopping the operation.
Short answer
Grid Force Hire supplies A-Grade electricians to warehouses and distribution centres across Melbourne and Victoria, covering high-bay lighting, power reticulation, racking and conveyor connections, automation support and maintenance, on a casual hourly basis. Heights and EWP tickets are verified before deployment.
The work
What hosts ask us for on warehousing and logistics sites

Switchboards, submains, racking power, charging bays and general distribution across large floorplates.
Conveyors and automation
Power and control connections to conveyors, sorters and automated equipment, supporting the integrator's commissioning.
Maintenance and minor works
Ongoing crew for a facility that can't take a shutdown, working around live operations.

Tickets and clearances this work usually needs
This is what we're typically asked for on this kind of site — it isn't a fixed list. What your site needs is whatever you tell us on the request, and that's what we match to. Held is not the same as current, so we check the dates too.
- Victorian A-Grade Electrician's Licence (Energy Safe Victoria)
- Elevated Work Platform (scissor and boom) — essential for high bay
- Working at heights
- Construction Induction Card (White Card)
- Low Voltage Rescue and CPR
- Forklift licence where the site requires it
What's different about crewing this sector
Melbourne's west and south-east are where most of this work is. Our crews travel across the metro area, and travel expectations are set in the quote rather than assumed.
Working above an operating warehouse floor is the real hazard here. EWP and heights currency is verified, not taken on trust.
Lighting upgrades often run nights and weekends around the operation. Penalty rates for those shifts are agreed up front in the quote.
