Job Description

You'll design, protect and maintain electrical systems for the electrical consulting engineering firm in Ballito. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

Location: Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

  • Keep single line diagrams and as-built drawings up to date
  • Investigate power quality problems with a power analyser
  • Review PLC and SCADA logic for process control and alarms
  • Plan maintenance for switchgear, transformers and motor control centres
  • Inspect installations and sign off compliance on completion
  • Design LV and MV reticulation to SANS 10142-1 and SANS 10142-2
  • Size cables, transformers and protection using design software

What you need

  • BEng or BSc Eng in Electrical Engineering, or a BTech or Advanced Diploma for technologist posts
  • Strong understanding of SANS 10142 and the Electrical Installation Regulations
  • At least 3 years of electrical engineering work after graduating
  • ECSA registration as Pr Eng, Pr Tech Eng or Candidate
  • Able to write clear technical reports and specifications

What you get

  • Vehicle allowance for site work
  • Paid professional registration and training
  • Clear path to associate or senior engineer

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): ECSA registration letter plus ID copy, certified within three months.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 8 working days.
