Job Description

This is hands-on electrical work in Cape Town CBD: new installs, repairs and CoCs that pass the first time. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

You'll be based at a facilities management company in Cape Town CBD. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What you'll actually do

Install inverters, battery banks and changeover switches for backup power clients
Lock out and tag out circuits before any work on live equipment
Supervise and teach an electrical assistant or apprentice on site
Replace faulty light fittings, plugs, geyser elements and thermostats
Terminate armoured cable and fit glands on three-phase motor supplies

Must-haves

At least 3 years working as a qualified electrician after your trade test
Registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an Installation Electrician or holding a Wireman's licence
Clean criminal record, since you will work inside client homes
Your own basic hand tools and a calibrated multimeter
Valid Code 08 driver's licence

Extra points for

N3 electrical trade theory on top of your trade test
Solar PV installation training and experience with hybrid inverters
Master Installation Electrician registration for three-phase CoCs

What you get

Company bakkie for call-outs and travel between sites
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
