Job Description

Got your trade test and a steady hand on a DB board? This facilities management company in Pretoria East needs you on the tools. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

You'll be based at a facilities management company in Pretoria East. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

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
  • Run conduit, trunking and cable tray on new builds and renovations
  • Supervise and teach an electrical assistant or apprentice on site
  • Replace faulty light fittings, plugs, geyser elements and thermostats
  • Terminate armoured cable and fit glands on three-phase motor supplies

Must-haves

  • Comfortable working at heights on ladders and in roof spaces
  • Clean criminal record, since you will work inside client homes
  • Your own basic hand tools and a calibrated multimeter
  • At least 3 years working as a qualified electrician after your trade test
  • 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

Helpful, not essential

  • Master Installation Electrician registration for three-phase CoCs
  • PLC and motor control experience from a factory setting

On offer

  • Company bakkie for call-outs and travel between sites
  • Company-issued test instruments, calibrated every year
  • Standby allowance when you are on the after-hours roster
  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekends
