Commercial Electrician (Shopfitting & Retail)

The food processing plant in Pinetown needs a qualified electrician who can work neatly and sign off safe installations. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The work is in Pinetown, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Test installations and issue Certificates of Compliance where your registration allows
• Supervise and teach an electrical assistant or apprentice on site
• Fault-find tripping circuits with a multimeter, insulation tester and loop tester
• Terminate armoured cable and fit glands on three-phase motor supplies
• Lock out and tag out circuits before any work on live equipment
• Install and wire distribution boards, isolators and earth leakage units to SANS 10142-1
• Install inverters, battery banks and changeover switches for backup power clients

• Valid Code 08 driver's licence
• Solid working knowledge of SANS 10142-1 and the Electrical Installation Regulations
• Electrical trade test certificate (Section 13 or 26D) through a QCTO-accredited centre
• Your own basic hand tools and a calibrated multimeter

• PLC and motor control experience from a factory setting
• N3 electrical trade theory on top of your trade test

• Provident fund and group risk cover after probation
• Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekends
