Electrician for CoC Inspections

This is hands-on electrical work in Umhlanga: new installs, repairs and CoCs that pass the first time. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is Umhlanga-based, with most of your time spent at a solar and backup power installer. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Install inverters, battery banks and changeover switches for backup power clients
• Test installations and issue Certificates of Compliance where your registration allows
• 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
• Supervise and teach an electrical assistant or apprentice on site
• Fault-find tripping circuits with a multimeter, insulation tester and loop tester
• Read electrical layouts and mark out point positions before chasing walls

• Electrical trade test certificate (Section 13 or 26D) through a QCTO-accredited centre
• At least 3 years working as a qualified electrician after your trade test
• Clean criminal record, since you will work inside client homes
• Comfortable working at heights on ladders and in roof spaces
• Solid working knowledge of SANS 10142-1 and the Electrical Installation Regulations

• PLC and motor control experience from a factory setting
• Master Installation Electrician registration for three-phase CoCs

• Company-issued test instruments, calibrated every year
• Provident fund and group risk cover after probation
• Standby allowance when you are on the after-hours roster
• Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekends

• If you have issued CoCs before, say how many and for what type of property.
• List two or three recent jobs with sizes, like a 60-point house rewire or a 10 kVA inverter install. It shows your level quickly.
