Burlin Electrical kicked off in 2011 when Ben and Daniel decided to start a company focused on reliable and efficient electrical services. From a small crew of five, we’ve grown to a strong team of 55 (and still going!). Thanks to our commitment to quality and happy customers, we’ve become a go-to name in the industry.
| 2011: | Ben and Daniel started the business, taking out personal loans to buy themselves utes. It was a small operation, beginning with residential and then moving into commercial/industrial. |
| 2014: | First apprentice starts (we now have over 20 apprentices on board!). |
| 2017: | Expanded into mechanical services aligning with our electrical division in the project space. |
| 2019: | Introduced Adam Hall (Refrigeration) and Luke Kerr (Mechanical Plumbing) who have now become project managers and directors. |
| 2022: | Service division commenced, covering preventative and reactive requests. |
At Burlin, our values guide everything we do, from how we think about projects to how we delver them.
Quality: We are hell bent on excellence in every single task.
Inclusive: We give everyone a fair go, regardless of trade or background.
Innovative: We turn apprentices into top-notch problem solvers.
Customer Focused: Everything we do starts and ends with our clients.
Growth: We keep moving forward, learning, and levelling up.
Like a lot of businesses, when we first started — just two young guys with two utes owned by the bank — our vision was narrow; we were focused on our own skills and offered only electrical services. We delivered power.
Over a decade of listening and learning, we realised getting complex projects done faster, meeting higher standards, and optimising productivity all came down to seamless baton passing — sparkies to mechanical experts, and mechanics to refrigeration technicians.
By building a team of experts from a number of disciplines, we have done what few other trades companies do — empowered performance — true efficiency without any compromise on quality.
Burlin’s rapid growth has been driven by a relentless focus on quality and innovation. Starting with small residential jobs, we’ve expanded to delivering services to businesses and multimillion-dollar developments.
In 2017, we broadened our scope with mechanical services, and in 2019, we added refrigeration to our capabilities, introducing specialist team members as we went, and a considered training program that has enabled our expansion to continue unhindered. Each step has been guided by our belief in offering comprehensive solutions under one roof.
We’re always looking for motivated people to join our growing team. Whether you’re just starting your career or you're an experienced tradesperson looking for a new challenge, Burlin offers a supportive, inclusive environment where you can thrive.
