Job Description

Power has to be safe, reliable and legal. The manufacturing plant in Boksburg needs you to make it so. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Home base is a manufacturing plant on the Boksburg side of Gauteng. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What your day looks like

  • Plan maintenance for switchgear, transformers and motor control centres
  • Set and test protection relays and keep settings records
  • Design solar PV and battery systems and handle grid connection to NRS 097
  • Keep single line diagrams and as-built drawings up to date
  • Investigate power quality problems with a power analyser

Must-haves

  • ECSA registration as Pr Eng, Pr Tech Eng or Candidate
  • Able to write clear technical reports and specifications
  • BEng or BSc Eng in Electrical Engineering, or a BTech or Advanced Diploma for technologist posts
  • Experience with at least one power system or lighting design package
  • Code 08 licence and willingness to travel to sites
  • Strong understanding of SANS 10142 and the Electrical Installation Regulations

Helpful, not essential

  • Protection or HV operating authorisation
  • PLC programming certification

On offer

  • Clear path to associate or senior engineer
  • Vehicle allowance for site work
  • Flexible hours on design days
