Job Description

Got your trade test and a steady hand on a DB board? This facilities management company in Richards Bay needs you on the tools. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

Location: Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

The work, day to day

Replace faulty light fittings, plugs, geyser elements and thermostats
Test installations and issue Certificates of Compliance where your registration allows
Install inverters, battery banks and changeover switches for backup power clients
Supervise and teach an electrical assistant or apprentice on site

You'll need

Valid Code 08 driver's licence
At least 3 years working as a qualified electrician after your trade test
Your own basic hand tools and a calibrated multimeter
Solid working knowledge of SANS 10142-1 and the Electrical Installation Regulations
Comfortable working at heights on ladders and in roof spaces
Clean criminal record, since you will work inside client homes

Nice if you have

Master Installation Electrician registration for three-phase CoCs
Solar PV installation training and experience with hybrid inverters
PLC and motor control experience from a factory setting

What you get

Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekends

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Richards Bay; 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.
