Job Description

Got your trade test and a steady hand on a DB board? This office park maintenance team in Kathu needs you on the tools. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

  • Replace faulty light fittings, plugs, geyser elements and thermostats
  • Read electrical layouts and mark out point positions before chasing walls

What you need

  • Your own basic hand tools and a calibrated multimeter
  • 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

Helpful, not essential

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

What you get

  • Provident fund and group risk cover after probation
  • Company-issued test instruments, calibrated every year
