Job Description

This is hands-on electrical work in Sasolburg: new installs, repairs and CoCs that pass the first time. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll be based at a food processing plant in Sasolburg. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

What your day looks like

  • Lock out and tag out circuits before any work on live equipment
  • Fault-find tripping circuits with a multimeter, insulation tester and loop tester
  • Read electrical layouts and mark out point positions before chasing walls
  • Run conduit, trunking and cable tray on new builds and renovations
  • Quote small jobs for clients and explain the fault in plain language
  • Install inverters, battery banks and changeover switches for backup power clients
  • Complete job cards, material lists and test reports at the end of each job

What you need

  • Clean criminal record, since you will work inside client homes
  • Comfortable working at heights on ladders and in roof spaces
  • At least 3 years working as a qualified electrician after your trade test
  • Valid Code 08 driver's licence
  • Electrical trade test certificate (Section 13 or 26D) through a QCTO-accredited centre

On offer

  • Provident fund and group risk cover after probation
  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekends
  • Company-issued test instruments, calibrated every year
  • Standby allowance when you are on the after-hours roster

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.

  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
