Meet Carlos — with more years of compressor experience than I’ve been alive, and now an invaluable part of the Regional Compressors & Pneumatics team.

Carlos brings a huge depth of technical and industry knowledge, a calm head on site, and just enough audacity to nickname me “Taco” in his first few weeks.

Hi Everyone! My name is Jessica and I work in the office here at O'Brien Electrical Engineering and Contractors. October is Mental Health Awareness month and we are raising money for BeyondBlue by having a Big Blue Table morning/afternoon tea and having courageous conversations over some food while checking in with our workmates. . Our aim is to raise $500 dollars to help fund the BeyondBlue 24/7 Support Service which offers help to those struggling with Anxiety, Depression and Su***de. I have included a link below to the fundraiser where you can donate online. It would really mean a lot if you could help us reach our goal! All donations over $2 are tax deductible.
Let's fight the stigma of mental health, one conversation at a time!

⚡️WRONG ANSWERS ONLY⚡️

What does this piece of electrical equipment do?
The answer that makes us laugh the most won't win anything... Maybe a crisp Hi 5 from Admin if it's good.

POV: You plug in the heater, kettle, microwave, and air fryer at once and act surprised when your house becomes Mordor.

🔥We do house calls, and fire prevention. When your switchboard starts sounding like Mount Doom, it’s time to call in the Fellowship (the team here at O'Brien). Light the beacons (call 4333 6900 or email [email protected]) and we’ll return peace to Middle-Earth (or at least your house).

Big shout out to our Regional Compressors & Pneumatics Department, in particular Clancy, Lance, Jake and Jason for smashing out a job last minute! Keep up the good work guys!

---

"Stoked with how this one turned out!
We were brought in last minute by a builder to install 22 outlets, a ring main, and relocate two compressors from another site. With a tight timeframe, we completed the underground works in a fusion-welded poly and finished above ground in 316 stainless - the results speak for themselves.
Big thanks to the team at Allmach Piping Systems for getting the gear to Ballarat quickly so we could wrap this project in under a week.
Always appreciate the sweet treat in the order too - legends!"

🎓 🎉 Big Congratulations to Max Peterken and Tarun Raven - Officially A-Grades! 🎉 🎓

They started out as apprentices asking where the conduit was... Now they're full blown sparkies still asking where the conduit is - but with a licence to prove it.

Max and Tarun have put in the hard yards, learned the ropes, passed the tests, and earned their stripes as qualified electricians.

We're proud of they work they've done, the mateship they bring, and the fact they now can't hide behind apprentice status anymore.

Legends in the making. Congrats boys 🤝

⚡️BREAKING NEWS⚡️

Reports say that the Easter Bunny entered a switchboard without a lockout tag, tripped the RCD, and fled the scene. Witnesses say he left behind 27 half melted eggs and one of our apprentices trying to "test continuity" on a marshmallow.
He insisted he could catch the bunny using a loop impedance tester and sheer confidence. He is now banned from using company tools for wildlife-related pursuits.

Happy Easter from the sparkies who actually know how to handle live stuff. Stay safe, don't DIY your wiring, and remember... eggs don't go in power points.
