Electrical Artisan (Trade Tested)

This is hands-on electrical work in Tembisa: new installs, repairs and CoCs that pass the first time. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll be based at a facilities management company in Tembisa. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.
