Job Description

You'll wire, fault-find and certify installations for the food processing plant in Bellville. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The work, day to day

  • Replace faulty light fittings, plugs, geyser elements and thermostats
  • Run conduit, trunking and cable tray on new builds and renovations
  • Supervise and teach an electrical assistant or apprentice on site
  • Lock out and tag out circuits before any work on live equipment
  • Complete job cards, material lists and test reports at the end of each job
  • Terminate armoured cable and fit glands on three-phase motor supplies
  • Test installations and issue Certificates of Compliance where your registration allows

Must-haves

  • At least 3 years working as a qualified electrician after your trade test
  • Comfortable working at heights on ladders and in roof spaces
  • Clean criminal record, since you will work inside client homes
  • Registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an Installation Electrician or holding a Wireman's licence
  • Solid working knowledge of SANS 10142-1 and the Electrical Installation Regulations
  • Valid Code 08 driver's licence

Nice if you have

  • Master Installation Electrician registration for three-phase CoCs
  • Solar PV installation training and experience with hybrid inverters
  • Working at Heights certificate still in date

What's in it for you
