Job Description

From MV switchgear to PLCs, this municipal electricity department in Midrand needs a sharp electrical engineer. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll be based at a municipal electricity department in Midrand. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

The work, day to day

  • Inspect installations and sign off compliance on completion
  • Review PLC and SCADA logic for process control and alarms
  • Plan maintenance for switchgear, transformers and motor control centres
  • Investigate power quality problems with a power analyser
  • Set and test protection relays and keep settings records

Must-haves

  • ECSA registration as Pr Eng, Pr Tech Eng or Candidate
  • Strong understanding of SANS 10142 and the Electrical Installation Regulations
  • At least 3 years of electrical engineering work after graduating
  • Code 08 licence and willingness to travel to sites
  • 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

What you get

  • Flexible hours on design days
  • Vehicle allowance for site work
  • Paid professional registration and training

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: academic record showing your electrical subjects, ECSA registration letter plus ID copy, certified within three months.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Midrand.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

  • If you are a candidate, add how close you are to Pr Eng and who your mentor is.
  • List projects with their voltage level, size in kVA or MW, and whether you designed, supervised or commissioned.
