Electrical Artisan (Trade Tested)

You'll wire, fault-find and certify installations for the office park maintenance team in Brits. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is in Brits (North West). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Lock out and tag out circuits before any work on live equipment
• Read electrical layouts and mark out point positions before chasing walls
• Complete job cards, material lists and test reports at the end of each job
• Replace faulty light fittings, plugs, geyser elements and thermostats
• Supervise and teach an electrical assistant or apprentice on site
• Install and wire distribution boards, isolators and earth leakage units to SANS 10142-1

• Solid working knowledge of SANS 10142-1 and the Electrical Installation Regulations
• At least 3 years working as a qualified electrician after your trade test
• Your own basic hand tools and a calibrated multimeter
• Electrical trade test certificate (Section 13 or 26D) through a QCTO-accredited centre
• Clean criminal record, since you will work inside client homes
• Registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an Installation Electrician or holding a Wireman's licence

• Provident fund and group risk cover after probation
• Company-issued test instruments, calibrated every year
