Job Description

You'll wire, fault-find and certify installations for the food processing plant in Johannesburg CBD. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

Location: Johannesburg CBD, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

What you'll actually do

  • Read electrical layouts and mark out point positions before chasing walls
  • Test installations and issue Certificates of Compliance where your registration allows
  • Install and wire distribution boards, isolators and earth leakage units to SANS 10142-1
  • Terminate armoured cable and fit glands on three-phase motor supplies
  • Supervise and teach an electrical assistant or apprentice on site

You'll need

  • Comfortable working at heights on ladders and in roof spaces
  • Your own basic hand tools and a calibrated multimeter
  • Clean criminal record, since you will work inside client homes
  • Electrical trade test certificate (Section 13 or 26D) through a QCTO-accredited centre

Nice if you have

  • N3 electrical trade theory on top of your trade test
  • PLC and motor control experience from a factory setting
  • Solar PV installation training and experience with hybrid inverters

What you get

  • Provident fund and group risk cover after probation
  • Company bakkie for call-outs and travel between sites
  • Company-issued test instruments, calibrated every year
  • Standby allowance when you are on the after-hours roster
