What QA Electrical does

QA Electrical is a privately held Australian multi-disciplined electrical services contractor founded in 2007 and headquartered in Geelong, Victoria. The firm delivers commercial electrical, industrial electrical, fibre and data cabling, and solar and renewable energy solutions to government, healthcare, manufacturing, retail and facilities management clients across Australia, with a service extension into New Zealand. Its core technology stack spans traditional electrical infrastructure (switchboards, RCD/circuit protection, lighting, EV charging), structured cabling and data centre infrastructure, industrial process automation using PLC programming and HMI-integrated motor control centres, and renewable systems incorporating CEC-accredited solar PV design, battery energy storage, solar shade car parks, and LoRaWAN IoT utility monitoring delivered via a partnership with Nube iO.

The company operates from eight offices — Geelong (head office), Melbourne, Ballarat, St Arnaud, Warrnambool, Sydney, Albury-Wodonga and Brisbane — with a fleet of 55 vehicles on 24/7 service calls and 130+ employees including qualified electricians, engineers, project managers and regional service delivery managers. It is led by Managing Director Brendan Heagney and supported by a C-suite including a CFO and Executive General Manager of Strategy, with a wholly-owned civil-works subsidiary, QA Excavation, enabling integrated project delivery.

QA Electrical generates revenue on a quote-based professional services model via direct field sales to enterprise and government clients. Notable contract work includes the 5 MW VSBA Solar program across 258 Victorian government schools (using Sungrow inverters and Risen 370M panels), a national 25,000+ RCD replacement rollout at Bunnings stores, healthcare facility communications room relocations and 3 MW of solar across 20+ healthcare sites, and electrical scope for Flemington Racecourse and Aquapulse. The company holds ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 certifications, CEC and NETCC accreditations, and electrical contractor licences in Victoria, NSW and Queensland, supporting its positioning for safety-critical and government work.
