  • Size cables, transformers and protection using design software
  • Inspect installations and sign off compliance on completion
  • Keep single line diagrams and as-built drawings up to date
  • Plan maintenance for switchgear, transformers and motor control centres

Must-haves

  • Able to write clear technical reports and specifications
  • ECSA registration as Pr Eng, Pr Tech Eng or Candidate
  • Experience with at least one power system or lighting design package
  • Code 08 licence and willingness to travel to sites

What you get

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