Try looking there as well if you haven't already done so. It's a board just for Sparkies.

I think you only need to work for 3 months in a regional location to qualify for the 2nd WHV.

The work you do also must be in certain sectors - not sure if electrician will count, so you might have to do something else:

I am not a sparkie, but there are plenty of posts on here from sparkies and a lot complain that they are not allowed to work here as a sparkie without doing further qualifacations even though they have got pr visas and done a skills assesment.

To get a second WHV, you do have to complete a period of time in regional work. This usually means things like farm work or if you are VERY lucky in mining. Though it is very hard for someone to get a job on a mine with a WHV
