Electrical Artisan (Trade Tested)

This is hands-on electrical work in Sandton: new installs, repairs and CoCs that pass the first time. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The work is in Sandton, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.
