Job Description

Got your trade test and a steady hand on a DB board? This food processing plant in Brakpan needs you on the tools. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Location: Brakpan, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What your day looks like

  • Install and wire distribution boards, isolators and earth leakage units to SANS 10142-1
  • Quote small jobs for clients and explain the fault in plain language
  • Fault-find tripping circuits with a multimeter, insulation tester and loop tester
  • Supervise and teach an electrical assistant or apprentice on site
  • Test installations and issue Certificates of Compliance where your registration allows
  • Complete job cards, material lists and test reports at the end of each job
  • Replace faulty light fittings, plugs, geyser elements and thermostats

What you need

  • Comfortable working at heights on ladders and in roof spaces
  • Valid Code 08 driver's licence
  • Solid working knowledge of SANS 10142-1 and the Electrical Installation Regulations
  • At least 3 years working as a qualified electrician after your trade test
  • 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

Nice if you have

  • PLC and motor control experience from a factory setting
  • Working at Heights certificate still in date

What you get

  • Provident fund and group risk cover after probation
  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekends
  • Company-issued test instruments, calibrated every year
  • Standby allowance when you are on the after-hours roster

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: Wireman's licence or registration letter from the Department of Employment and Labour, trade test certificate plus driver's licence copy.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.
