Solar PV Installation Electrician

This is hands-on electrical work in Benoni: new installs, repairs and CoCs that pass the first time. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

This post is Benoni-based, with most of your time spent at an office park maintenance team. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Test installations and issue Certificates of Compliance where your registration allows
• Run conduit, trunking and cable tray on new builds and renovations
• Install and wire distribution boards, isolators and earth leakage units to SANS 10142-1
• Install inverters, battery banks and changeover switches for backup power clients
• Lock out and tag out circuits before any work on live equipment
• Read electrical layouts and mark out point positions before chasing walls

• Your own basic hand tools and a calibrated multimeter
• Valid Code 08 driver's licence
• At least 3 years working as a qualified electrician after your trade test
• Comfortable working at heights on ladders and in roof spaces

• Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekends
• Provident fund and group risk cover after probation
• Company-issued test instruments, calibrated every year
• Company bakkie for call-outs and travel between sites

• List two or three recent jobs with sizes, like a 60-point house rewire or a 10 kVA inverter install. It shows your level quickly.
• If you have issued CoCs before, say how many and for what type of property.
