Installation Electrician (Wireman's Licence)

This is hands-on electrical work in Montague Gardens: 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.

The work is in Montague Gardens, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.
