  • Experience with at least one power system or lighting design package
  • 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
  • Able to write clear technical reports and specifications
  • At least 3 years of electrical engineering work after graduating

Nice if you have

  • PLC programming certification

What's in it for you

  • Clear path to associate or senior engineer
  • Flexible hours on design days
