Job Description

This is hands-on electrical work in Pietermaritzburg: new installs, repairs and CoCs that pass the first time. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The work is in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

What you'll actually do

  • Complete job cards, material lists and test reports at the end of each job
  • Lock out and tag out circuits before any work on live equipment
  • Test installations and issue Certificates of Compliance where your registration allows
  • Replace faulty light fittings, plugs, geyser elements and thermostats
  • Run conduit, trunking and cable tray on new builds and renovations
  • Quote small jobs for clients and explain the fault in plain language

You'll need

  • Electrical trade test certificate (Section 13 or 26D) through a QCTO-accredited centre
  • Comfortable working at heights on ladders and in roof spaces
  • Clean criminal record, since you will work inside client homes
  • Registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an Installation Electrician or holding a Wireman's licence

Extra points for

  • N3 electrical trade theory on top of your trade test
  • Solar PV installation training and experience with hybrid inverters
  • PLC and motor control experience from a factory setting

On offer

  • Provident fund and group risk cover after probation
  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekends
  • Company bakkie for call-outs and travel between sites
  • Standby allowance when you are on the after-hours roster
