Job Description

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

The work is in Fourways, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

What your day looks like

Quote small jobs for clients and explain the fault in plain language
Supervise and teach an electrical assistant or apprentice on site
Test installations and issue Certificates of Compliance where your registration allows
Install and wire distribution boards, isolators and earth leakage units to SANS 10142-1
Fault-find tripping circuits with a multimeter, insulation tester and loop tester
Install inverters, battery banks and changeover switches for backup power clients

Must-haves

Registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an Installation Electrician or holding a Wireman's licence
Valid Code 08 driver's licence
Electrical trade test certificate (Section 13 or 26D) through a QCTO-accredited centre
Clean criminal record, since you will work inside client homes

On offer

Standby allowance when you are on the after-hours roster
Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekends
Company-issued test instruments, calibrated every year
Company bakkie for call-outs and travel between sites

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): Wireman's licence or registration letter from the Department of Employment and Labour, driver's licence copy plus certified copy of your ID.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

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

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.

How to stand out

Many applicants forget to attach the trade test certificate itself. Recruiters often skip CVs that only mention it.
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.
