The Background That Sets the Standard

The Career That Built the Business

Jordan started where most electricians do. What he did next is what makes Journey Electrical different.

2016
Foundation in the Trade

TAFE-trained and licensed — then hands-on work across domestic and commercial builds. New homes. Renovations. Office fit-outs. The fundamentals done properly, from the ground up.

Into the Mines
Heavy Industry & High Stakes

Transitioning into the mining sector. Five years working in high-pressure, high-consequence environments across Australia and internationally — operations in the United States and Laos. Progressed into supervisory roles. Where an error isn't a callback job. It's a catastrophe.

International
Australia, the US and Laos

Managing electrical systems for major industrial operations across three countries. The discipline, standards, and precision that high-consequence work demands — carried directly into every residential and commercial job today.

August 2025
Journey Electrical — Newcastle

A baby on the way. A decision to come home. Journey Electrical launched not just as a business, but as a commitment — to family, to the community, and to delivering work that actually makes a difference in the homes it touches.

Why 'Journey' Electrical?

A Name With More Than One Meaning

JE are Jordan Evans’ initials. But the name ‘Journey’ goes further than that.
Every client is in the middle of something. A renovation. A new home. A solar system that needs the right network connection. A defect notice that arrived without warning and needs sorting in 21 days. These aren’t just electrical jobs — they’re moments in people’s lives. We understand that. Journey Electrical was created to be a part of your journey from start to finish.
Journey Electrical’s role is to be part of that journey, not just turn up, do a job, and walk away. It means the work gets explained. The paperwork gets handled. The questions get answered. And when it’s done, you know exactly what was done and why — with a respectful and courteous attitude.

Journey Electrical manages every part of the Level 2 scope plus both Ausgrid applications. You don’t coordinate with the network operator. You don’t chase paperwork. You just get the outcome.

“Jordan recently did the electrical work on my house to get it ready for sale. He wasn’t just amazing at what he does — he was also so kind and genuine. During one of the hardest times of my life he completed the job within a matter of days. I’m so pleased with the end result.”

Our Approach

Most trades hand you a quote and send you an invoice. We give you the reasoning.

Why does this cable need to be upsized? Why does this job require an Ausgrid application — and what does that process actually involve? Why does quality Level 2 work cost more than you might expect?

Because cutting corners on this kind of work has real consequences. One job Jordan encountered involved a previous contractor installing the wrong cable gauge throughout an entire system. The tear-out and rework cost the owner far more than doing it right would have cost the first time.

The calculations were never checked. Journey Electrical checks every time.

Most trades hand you a quote and send you an invoice. We give you the reasoning.

That’s not unusual. That’s just decent service. So we explain every step — not to overwhelm you, but so you can make an informed decision about your own home and business.

Why the work needs to be done — the real reason, not just the quote line item

What the Ausgrid application process involves and what the timeline looks like

What happens if the problem is left — so you can weigh the real risk

What was done when the job is complete — documented, no guesswork

A planned mains replacement costs around $2,500–$3,500.

The same job on emergency, after failure, can exceed $20,000. That's the cost of not knowing the facts before you decide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What People Ask About Journey Electrical

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

Q

How long has Journey Electrical been operating?

Journey Electrical launched in August 2025. Jordan Evans has held his NSW electrical licence since 2016 and brings ten years of trade experience to the business, including five years in mining and heavy industry across Australia and internationally.

Q

Is Jordan Evans the person who turns up to every job?

Yes. Jordan is the licensed electrician and Ausgrid Accredited ASP who attends every job. You’ll be speaking directly with Jordan from your first call through to job completion — no call centres, no relay, no surprises.

Q

What areas does Journey Electrical service?

Journey Electrical services Newcastle and surrounds, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, the Hunter, Port Stephens, and Singleton — generally within approximately one hour of home base. Call Jordan directly on 0414 470 873 if you’re unsure.

Q

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Journey Electrical holds NSW Electrical Contractor Licence 490726C and Ausgrid ASP Accreditation Reference 6807 across all four Level 2 categories. Full public liability and contractor insurance is held.

Q

What makes Journey Electrical different from other Level 2 electricians in Newcastle?

A few things. First, Jordan holds all four Ausgrid Level 2 categories — A, B, C, and D. Most Level 2 operators only hold one or two. Second, Jordan is an Accredited Service Provider (not just Authorised), which is the higher tier of ASP status. Third, he manages the complete Ausgrid application process in-house — you don’t need to coordinate multiple contractors or navigate the paperwork yourself. And finally, he explains every step, so you understand exactly what’s being done and why.

Q

How do I know the work will be done to a high standard?

Ten years of trade experience, five years in high-consequence mining environments, and Ausgrid accreditation to the highest Level 2 tier. Beyond credentials, the work is explained before it starts, carried out to code, and documented when it’s done.

Q

Does Journey Electrical take on emergency work?

Yes. Emergency callouts are available 24/7. Emergency Level 2 work — such as storm damage, failed consumer mains, or a disconnected supply — bypasses the standard Ausgrid application process, allowing work to proceed immediately. Call 0414 470 873.

Q

Does Journey Electrical handle the Ausgrid paperwork?

Yes. All Ausgrid applications are managed in-house. For planned Level 2 work, there are typically two separate applications. One for metering and one for mains – each with an approximate two-week processing time. Jordan handles both. You don’t need to deal with Ausgrid directly.

Q

What's the difference between an Authorised and Accredited ASP?

Both are licensed by Ausgrid to carry out Level 2 work, but the tiers differ in capability. An Accredited Service Provider holds a higher level of qualification and — critically — has emergency approval access that allows urgent work to proceed without the standard two-week delay. Journey Electrical holds Accredited status.

Q

I've received a defect notice (yellow sticker). Can you help?

Yes. A defect notice means there’s an identified fault that must be rectified — typically within 21 days before supply is disconnected. Journey Electrical handles the inspection, the repair work, and the Ausgrid application to clear the notice. Call Jordan as soon as you receive one: 0414 470 873.
