Job Description

You'll design, protect and maintain electrical systems for the municipal electricity department in Prospecton. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The site is in Prospecton; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What you'll actually do

  • Investigate power quality problems with a power analyser
  • Design solar PV and battery systems and handle grid connection to NRS 097
  • Size cables, transformers and protection using design software
  • Inspect installations and sign off compliance on completion
  • Keep single line diagrams and as-built drawings up to date

What you need

  • Strong understanding of SANS 10142 and the Electrical Installation Regulations
  • ECSA registration as Pr Eng, Pr Tech Eng or Candidate
  • Able to write clear technical reports and specifications
  • Code 08 licence and willingness to travel to sites
  • At least 3 years of electrical engineering work after graduating
  • Experience with at least one power system or lighting design package

Helpful, not essential

  • Renewable energy project experience above 1 MW
  • Government Certificate of Competency (Electrical, Factories or Mines)

On offer

  • Paid professional registration and training
  • Flexible hours on design days
  • Vehicle allowance for site work
  • Clear path to associate or senior engineer

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): academic record showing your electrical subjects, 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. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.
