Maintenance Electrician (Night Shift)

You'll wire, fault-find and certify installations for the residential electrical contractor in Ballito. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Location: Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

• Replace faulty light fittings, plugs, geyser elements and thermostats
• Terminate armoured cable and fit glands on three-phase motor supplies

• Install inverters, battery banks and changeover switches for backup power clients
