About Our Team

Established in 1951

Watkins Electrical is a proud family-owned business that has been serving the Fraser Coast since 1951. Originally founded by local electrician “Nutty” Watkins, the business has grown from a one-man operation into a trusted team of nearly 20 staff, working from locations in Maryborough and Hervey Bay.

Owned by Peter and Lindy Robbins, the company continues its strong tradition of quality, reliability and personal service. We provide residential, commercial and industrial electrical services—everything from small repairs to full-scale installations, smart home systems, air conditioning and emergency support. Clients also benefit from free quotes and a 5% Seniors Card discount.

With deep local roots and a forward-thinking approach, we combine decades of experience with up-to-date training in the latest technology, helping homes and businesses across the Fraser Coast stay powered, safe and connected.
