Qualified Electrician (Residential Installations)

The solar and backup power installer in Rustenburg needs a qualified electrician who can work neatly and sign off safe installations. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Rustenburg; 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.

• Registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an Installation Electrician or holding a Wireman's licence
• Your own basic hand tools and a calibrated multimeter

• Comfortable working at heights on ladders and in roof spaces
• Electrical trade test certificate (Section 13 or 26D) through a QCTO-accredited centre
• Clean criminal record, since you will work inside client homes

• Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekends
• Standby allowance when you are on the after-hours roster
• Company-issued test instruments, calibrated every year
