Job Description

You'll design, protect and maintain electrical systems for the manufacturing plant in Mogwase. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

You'll be based at a manufacturing plant in Mogwase. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

The work, day to day

  • Draw up tender specifications and bills of quantities for electrical works
  • Investigate power quality problems with a power analyser
  • Keep single line diagrams and as-built drawings up to date
  • Plan maintenance for switchgear, transformers and motor control centres
  • Design LV and MV reticulation to SANS 10142-1 and SANS 10142-2
  • Design solar PV and battery systems and handle grid connection to NRS 097
  • Guide technicians and contractors on site during commissioning

Must-haves

  • Strong understanding of SANS 10142 and the Electrical Installation Regulations
  • Experience with at least one power system or lighting design package
  • At least 3 years of electrical engineering work after graduating
  • ECSA registration as Pr Eng, Pr Tech Eng or Candidate

Helpful, not essential

  • Renewable energy project experience above 1 MW
  • PLC programming certification
  • Government Certificate of Competency (Electrical, Factories or Mines)

What's in it for you

  • Paid professional registration and training
  • Flexible hours on design days
  • Clear path to associate or senior engineer

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): ID copy, certified within three months, ECSA registration letter plus academic record showing your electrical subjects.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.
