Qualified Electrician (Residential Installations)

This is hands-on electrical work in Brits: new installs, repairs and CoCs that pass the first time. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

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

• Read electrical layouts and mark out point positions before chasing walls
• 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
• Quote small jobs for clients and explain the fault in plain language
• Complete job cards, material lists and test reports at the end of each job

• Valid Code 08 driver's licence
• Solid working knowledge of SANS 10142-1 and the Electrical Installation Regulations
• Electrical trade test certificate (Section 13 or 26D) through a QCTO-accredited centre
• At least 3 years working as a qualified electrician after your trade test

• Standby allowance when you are on the after-hours roster
• Company-issued test instruments, calibrated every year
