Job Description

From MV switchgear to PLCs, this manufacturing plant in Randburg needs a sharp electrical engineer. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in Randburg; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

What your day looks like

  • Design solar PV and battery systems and handle grid connection to NRS 097
  • Size cables, transformers and protection using design software
  • Inspect installations and sign off compliance on completion
  • Investigate power quality problems with a power analyser
  • Set and test protection relays and keep settings records

Must-haves

  • ECSA registration as Pr Eng, Pr Tech Eng or Candidate
  • Able to write clear technical reports and specifications
  • Strong understanding of SANS 10142 and the Electrical Installation Regulations
  • At least 3 years of electrical engineering work after graduating
  • Code 08 licence and willingness to travel to sites
  • Experience with at least one power system or lighting design package

What's in it for you

  • Paid professional registration and training
  • Flexible hours on design days
  • Clear path to associate or senior engineer
  • Vehicle allowance for site work

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): academic record showing your electrical subjects plus ID copy, certified within three months.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.
