From MV switchgear to PLCs, this electrical consulting engineering firm in Pretoria East needs a sharp electrical engineer. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

What you'll actually do

Draw up tender specifications and bills of quantities for electrical works
Guide technicians and contractors on site during commissioning
Investigate power quality problems with a power analyser
Plan maintenance for switchgear, transformers and motor control centres
Design LV and MV reticulation to SANS 10142-1 and SANS 10142-2

What you need

Code 08 licence and willingness to travel to sites
BEng or BSc Eng in Electrical Engineering, or a BTech or Advanced Diploma for technologist posts
Able to write clear technical reports and specifications
Experience with at least one power system or lighting design package
Strong understanding of SANS 10142 and the Electrical Installation Regulations

Helpful, not essential

PLC programming certification
Renewable energy project experience above 1 MW

What's in it for you

Clear path to associate or senior engineer
Paid professional registration and training
Flexible hours on design days

How to apply for this job

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Pretoria East really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): ID copy, certified within three months, ECSA registration letter plus academic record showing your electrical subjects.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Pretoria East.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

List projects with their voltage level, size in kVA or MW, and whether you designed, supervised or commissioned.
