Job Description

You'll wire, fault-find and certify installations for the food processing plant in Alberton. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The work is in Alberton, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What your day looks like

  • Replace faulty light fittings, plugs, geyser elements and thermostats
  • Quote small jobs for clients and explain the fault in plain language
  • Run conduit, trunking and cable tray on new builds and renovations
  • Terminate armoured cable and fit glands on three-phase motor supplies
  • Fault-find tripping circuits with a multimeter, insulation tester and loop tester
  • Install and wire distribution boards, isolators and earth leakage units to SANS 10142-1

You'll need

  • 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
  • At least 3 years working as a qualified electrician after your trade test
  • Electrical trade test certificate (Section 13 or 26D) through a QCTO-accredited centre
  • Clean criminal record, since you will work inside client homes

Nice if you have

  • PLC and motor control experience from a factory setting
  • Working at Heights certificate still in date
  • Master Installation Electrician registration for three-phase CoCs

On offer

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