Job Description

Got your trade test and a steady hand on a DB board? This office park maintenance team in Welkom needs you on the tools. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll be based at an office park maintenance team in Welkom. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What you'll actually do

  • Complete job cards, material lists and test reports at the end of each job
  • Run conduit, trunking and cable tray on new builds and renovations
  • Install inverters, battery banks and changeover switches for backup power clients
  • Replace faulty light fittings, plugs, geyser elements and thermostats
  • Test installations and issue Certificates of Compliance where your registration allows
  • Supervise and teach an electrical assistant or apprentice on site
  • Install and wire distribution boards, isolators and earth leakage units to SANS 10142-1

What you need

  • 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
  • At least 3 years working as a qualified electrician after your trade test
  • Your own basic hand tools and a calibrated multimeter
  • Valid Code 08 driver's licence
  • Solid working knowledge of SANS 10142-1 and the Electrical Installation Regulations

Nice if you have

  • Working at Heights certificate still in date
  • Master Installation Electrician registration for three-phase CoCs

What's in it for you

  • Provident fund and group risk cover after probation
  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekends
  • Company bakkie for call-outs and travel between sites
  • Company-issued test instruments, calibrated every year

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your ID plus trade test certificate.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 10 working days.

How to stand out

  • If you have issued CoCs before, say how many and for what type of property.
