Job Description

From MV switchgear to PLCs, this municipal electricity department in Roodepoort needs a sharp electrical engineer. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll report in Roodepoort. Relocation is not covered for this one. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

The work, day to day

Guide technicians and contractors on site during commissioning
Investigate power quality problems with a power analyser
Set and test protection relays and keep settings records
Plan maintenance for switchgear, transformers and motor control centres
Size cables, transformers and protection using design software
Draw up tender specifications and bills of quantities for electrical works
Design solar PV and battery systems and handle grid connection to NRS 097

What you need

ECSA registration as Pr Eng, Pr Tech Eng or Candidate
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
Experience with at least one power system or lighting design package

Helpful, not essential

Government Certificate of Competency (Electrical, Factories or Mines)
PLC programming certification

What's in it for you

Paid professional registration and training
Flexible hours on design days
Vehicle allowance for site work

Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: ID copy, certified within three months plus academic record showing your electrical subjects.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 8 working days.

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

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.

Before you hit apply

List projects with their voltage level, size in kVA or MW, and whether you designed, supervised or commissioned.
If you are a candidate, add how close you are to Pr Eng and who your mentor is.
