Job Description

You'll wire, fault-find and certify installations for the facilities management company in Bethlehem. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

Location: Bethlehem, Free State. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

What you'll actually do

  • 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
  • Install inverters, battery banks and changeover switches for backup power clients
  • Quote small jobs for clients and explain the fault in plain language
  • Install and wire distribution boards, isolators and earth leakage units to SANS 10142-1
  • Supervise and teach an electrical assistant or apprentice on site

Must-haves

  • Electrical trade test certificate (Section 13 or 26D) through a QCTO-accredited centre
  • At least 3 years working as a qualified electrician after your trade test
  • Valid Code 08 driver's licence
  • Your own basic hand tools and a calibrated multimeter
  • Solid working knowledge of SANS 10142-1 and the Electrical Installation Regulations
  • Comfortable working at heights on ladders and in roof spaces

What you get

  • Standby allowance when you are on the after-hours roster
  • Provident fund and group risk cover after probation
  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekends
