Job Description

This is hands-on electrical work in Soweto: new installs, repairs and CoCs that pass the first time. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

Location: Soweto, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

Test installations and issue Certificates of Compliance where your registration allows

Valid Code 08 driver's licence
Solid working knowledge of SANS 10142-1 and the Electrical Installation Regulations
Your own basic hand tools and a calibrated multimeter
Registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an Installation Electrician or holding a Wireman's licence

Helpful, not essential

N3 electrical trade theory on top of your trade test
PLC and motor control experience from a factory setting
Working at Heights certificate still in date

On offer

Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekends
Provident fund and group risk cover after probation
Company-issued test instruments, calibrated every year

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your ID, Wireman's licence or registration letter from the Department of Employment and Labour plus trade test certificate.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Soweto.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

If you have issued CoCs before, say how many and for what type of property.
Many applicants forget to attach the trade test certificate itself. Recruiters often skip CVs that only mention it.
