How to apply

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Cape Town CBD really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): Wireman's licence or registration letter from the Department of Employment and Labour plus trade test certificate.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

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

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

Many applicants forget to attach the trade test certificate itself. Recruiters often skip CVs that only mention it.
If you have issued CoCs before, say how many and for what type of property.
