Maintenance Electrician (Night Shift)

This is hands-on electrical work in Sandton: new installs, repairs and CoCs that pass the first time. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

You'll be based at an office park maintenance team in Sandton. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.
