Solar PV Installation Electrician – Immediate Start

This is hands-on electrical work in Paarl: new installs, repairs and CoCs that pass the first time. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The work is in Paarl, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

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