Construcciones Yamaro: Alyssa Preer: Sparked and charged

By

Alyssa Preer, fuelled by her ambition to one day establish her own business in the construction industry, excels in her role as a certified electrician at O’Brien Electrical & Plumbing Rowville.

At the young age of 23, Alyssa Preer possesses an exceptional blend of wit and determination. By day, she is a qualified electrician, delivering electrical works for a variety of commercial construction projects. By night, she seamlessly transitions into her role as a skilled beauty therapist and business owner.

At 18, while still attending school, Preer earned her beauty therapy certification. Though she had a genuine interest in the field, she soon realised it wasn’t the career she wanted to pursue full-time.

“My dad suggested that I try a trade after we built an electric fence together, sparking my interest in electrical work,” says Preer. “From there, I completed an electrician pre-apprenticeship course and fell in love with it.”

“I started my apprenticeship in late 2019, and today, I proudly work as a certified electrician at O’Brien Electrical & Plumbing Rowville.”

Before joining O’Brien Electrical & Plumbing Rowville, Preer completed a four-year electrical apprenticeship with Frontline Human Resources (FHR), a group training organisation that offers opportunities to both blue-collar companies and workers. During her time with FHR, she gained valuable experience working on significant infrastructure projects such as the Burnley Tunnel Upgrade and the Metro Tunnel in Melbourne.

Preer then started with O’Brien Electrical & Plumbing Rowville in August of this year, where she delivers electrical work for the commercial construction sector. Her primary responsibilities revolve around data-related tasks, with occasional involvement in lighting and power duties when needed.

Currently, Preer is carrying out the electrical fit-off of a data rack, which involves connecting data jacks for various applications, including Ethernet, television and HDMI cables.

Electricians deliver works in five stages, explains Preer. The underground conduit stage entails laying electrical conduits before concrete flooring or foundations are poured. The rough-in stage involves the installation of circuit wiring, routing services between the electrical box and wall studs. For the cut-out stage, electricians drill and create openings in the walls for wiring passages. In the fit-off stage, the wires are connected to outlets and switches. The final stage is testing and commissioning, where outlets and switches are checked to ensure wiring has been done correctly, and everything is powered for project delivery.

Preer is working on the data rack as part of the fit-off stage for the Padua College project in Mornington, where O’Brien Electrical & Plumbing Rowville is delivering electrical works for the construction of a dedicated 3,600-square-metre centre for Year 7 and 8 students.

“There are so many facets of being an electrician that I love – my favourite thing to do at work is fit-off, which is a satisfying part of electrical delivery – but I also love working as part of a great team at O’Brien Electrical & Plumbing Rowville,” says Preer.

In addition to her full-time role as an electrician, Preer also operates her own beauty therapy business, servicing up to 15 clients per week. “I’m incredibly busy,” says Preer. “But it’s amazing to be working in two areas I’m passionate about, electrical and beauty.”

Still only in the early stages of her career, Alyssa Preer is sparked and charged to continue making her mark in the construction industry. Fearless in the face of new challenges, she encourages aspiring construction professionals to “bite the bullet and just do it”, sharing that a career in the industry provides endless opportunities for growth.
