Job Description

You'll wire, fault-find and certify installations for the solar and backup power installer in Benoni. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The work is in Benoni, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What you'll actually do

  • 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
  • Fault-find tripping circuits with a multimeter, insulation tester and loop tester
  • Install and wire distribution boards, isolators and earth leakage units to SANS 10142-1

Must-haves

  • Registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an Installation Electrician or holding a Wireman's licence
  • Your own basic hand tools and a calibrated multimeter
  • Solid working knowledge of SANS 10142-1 and the Electrical Installation Regulations
  • Electrical trade test certificate (Section 13 or 26D) through a QCTO-accredited centre
  • Comfortable working at heights on ladders and in roof spaces

On offer

  • Standby allowance when you are on the after-hours roster
  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekends
  • Provident fund and group risk cover after probation

How to apply for this job

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: driver's licence copy plus Wireman's licence or registration letter from the Department of Employment and Labour.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 7 working days.

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

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.

How to stand out

  • Many applicants forget to attach the trade test certificate itself. Recruiters often skip CVs that only mention it.
  • Put your registration category (IE, MIE or single-phase tester) and registration number right under your name on the CV.
