Job Description

This is hands-on electrical work in Umlazi: new installs, repairs and CoCs that pass the first time. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Location: Umlazi, KwaZulu-Natal. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

What you'll actually do

Lock out and tag out circuits before any work on live equipment
Quote small jobs for clients and explain the fault in plain language
Read electrical layouts and mark out point positions before chasing walls
Supervise and teach an electrical assistant or apprentice on site
Terminate armoured cable and fit glands on three-phase motor supplies

What you need

Clean criminal record, since you will work inside client homes
Valid Code 08 driver's licence
Electrical trade test certificate (Section 13 or 26D) through a QCTO-accredited centre
Solid working knowledge of SANS 10142-1 and the Electrical Installation Regulations

Helpful, not essential

N3 electrical trade theory on top of your trade test
Solar PV installation training and experience with hybrid inverters
Working at Heights certificate still in date

What you get

Provident fund and group risk cover after probation
Company-issued test instruments, calibrated every year
Company bakkie for call-outs and travel between sites
