Job Description

You'll wire, fault-find and certify installations for the food processing plant in Kempton Park. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

You'll be based at a food processing plant in Kempton Park. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

The work, day to day

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
Run conduit, trunking and cable tray on new builds and renovations
Lock out and tag out circuits before any work on live equipment
Quote small jobs for clients and explain the fault in plain language

You'll need

Registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an Installation Electrician or holding a Wireman's licence
Your own basic hand tools and a calibrated multimeter
Clean criminal record, since you will work inside client homes
At least 3 years working as a qualified electrician after your trade test
Comfortable working at heights on ladders and in roof spaces

Helpful, not essential

Working at Heights certificate still in date
Solar PV installation training and experience with hybrid inverters
Master Installation Electrician registration for three-phase CoCs

On offer

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

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Kempton Park; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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.

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