Job Description

The shopfitting and retail fit-out firm in Roodepoort needs a qualified electrician who can work neatly and sign off safe installations. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The site is in Roodepoort; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

The work, day to day

Quote small jobs for clients and explain the fault in plain language
Fault-find tripping circuits with a multimeter, insulation tester and loop tester
Replace faulty light fittings, plugs, geyser elements and thermostats
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

You'll need

Registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an Installation Electrician or holding a Wireman's licence
Clean criminal record, since you will work inside client homes
Comfortable working at heights on ladders and in roof spaces
Valid Code 08 driver's licence

Helpful, not essential

N3 electrical trade theory on top of your trade test
Master Installation Electrician registration for three-phase CoCs

What you get

Standby allowance when you are on the after-hours roster
Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekends
Provident fund and group risk cover after probation

How to apply

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): certified copy of your ID, driver's licence copy plus trade test certificate.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

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

How to stand out

Put your registration category (IE, MIE or single-phase tester) and registration number right under your name on the CV.
Many applicants forget to attach the trade test certificate itself. Recruiters often skip CVs that only mention it.
