Job Description

This is hands-on electrical work in Khayelitsha: 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.

The site is in Khayelitsha; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

  • Read electrical layouts and mark out point positions before chasing walls
  • Test installations and issue Certificates of Compliance where your registration allows
  • Run conduit, trunking and cable tray on new builds and renovations
  • Supervise and teach an electrical assistant or apprentice on site
  • Terminate armoured cable and fit glands on three-phase motor supplies
  • Quote small jobs for clients and explain the fault in plain language

What you need

  • Comfortable working at heights on ladders and in roof spaces
  • Your own basic hand tools and a calibrated multimeter
  • Solid working knowledge of SANS 10142-1 and the Electrical Installation Regulations
  • 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
  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekends
  • Company-issued test instruments, calibrated every year
