Electrical Artisan (Trade Tested) – Permanent

This is hands-on electrical work in Atlantis: new installs, repairs and CoCs that pass the first time. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is Atlantis-based, with most of your time spent at a facilities management company. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Quote small jobs for clients and explain the fault in plain language
• Install inverters, battery banks and changeover switches for backup power clients
• Fault-find tripping circuits with a multimeter, insulation tester and loop tester
• Terminate armoured cable and fit glands on three-phase motor supplies
• Test installations and issue Certificates of Compliance where your registration allows
• Complete job cards, material lists and test reports at the end of each job
• Supervise and teach an electrical assistant or apprentice on site

• Clean criminal record, since you will work inside client homes
• Electrical trade test certificate (Section 13 or 26D) through a QCTO-accredited centre
• Registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an Installation Electrician or holding a Wireman's licence
• Solid working knowledge of SANS 10142-1 and the Electrical Installation Regulations
• Your own basic hand tools and a calibrated multimeter
• Valid Code 08 driver's licence

• Standby allowance when you are on the after-hours roster
• Company bakkie for call-outs and travel between sites
• Company-issued test instruments, calibrated every year
• Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekends

• List two or three recent jobs with sizes, like a 60-point house rewire or a 10 kVA inverter install. It shows your level quickly.
• Put your registration category (IE, MIE or single-phase tester) and registration number right under your name on the CV.
