Job Description

This is hands-on electrical work in Sandton: new installs, repairs and CoCs that pass the first time. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

Location: Sandton, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

The work, day to day

  • Lock out and tag out circuits before any work on live equipment
  • Quote small jobs for clients and explain the fault in plain language
  • Terminate armoured cable and fit glands on three-phase motor supplies
  • Complete job cards, material lists and test reports at the end of each job
  • Supervise and teach an electrical assistant or apprentice on site
  • Install inverters, battery banks and changeover switches for backup power clients
  • Run conduit, trunking and cable tray on new builds and renovations

What you need

  • Registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an Installation Electrician or holding a Wireman's licence
  • Comfortable working at heights on ladders and in roof spaces
  • Clean criminal record, since you will work inside client homes
  • Valid Code 08 driver's licence

Nice if you have

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

On offer

  • Provident fund and group risk cover after probation
  • Standby allowance when you are on the after-hours roster
  • Company-issued test instruments, calibrated every year
