Job Description

You'll wire, fault-find and certify installations for the food processing plant in Cape Town CBD. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The site is in Cape Town CBD; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What your day looks like

  • Complete job cards, material lists and test reports at the end of each job
  • Quote small jobs for clients and explain the fault in plain language
  • Terminate armoured cable and fit glands on three-phase motor supplies
  • Test installations and issue Certificates of Compliance where your registration allows
  • Replace faulty light fittings, plugs, geyser elements and thermostats
  • Supervise and teach an electrical assistant or apprentice on site

You'll need

  • Comfortable working at heights on ladders and in roof spaces
  • Valid Code 08 driver's licence
  • Your own basic hand tools and a calibrated multimeter
  • At least 3 years working as a qualified electrician after your trade test

Helpful, not essential

  • Solar PV installation training and experience with hybrid inverters
  • PLC and motor control experience from a factory setting

What's in it for you

  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekends
  • Company-issued test instruments, calibrated every year
  • Company bakkie for call-outs and travel between sites
