Job Description

The shopfitting and retail fit-out firm in Boksburg needs a qualified electrician who can work neatly and sign off safe installations. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The site is in Boksburg; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

What you'll actually do

  • Run conduit, trunking and cable tray on new builds and renovations
  • Quote small jobs for clients and explain the fault in plain language
  • 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
  • Terminate armoured cable and fit glands on three-phase motor supplies

Must-haves

  • Solid working knowledge of SANS 10142-1 and the Electrical Installation Regulations
  • At least 3 years working as a qualified electrician after your trade test
  • Electrical trade test certificate (Section 13 or 26D) through a QCTO-accredited centre
  • Registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an Installation Electrician or holding a Wireman's licence
  • Comfortable working at heights on ladders and in roof spaces

Helpful, not essential

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

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Boksburg really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your ID, trade test certificate plus driver's licence copy.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 5 working days, usually by phone.

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

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

How to stand out

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