Cape Town, South Africa

SUMMARY:
Are you a qualified electrician who wants to move from the tools to the drawing board?

Our client, an established engineering company in Stikland, is looking for a qualified electrician who has recently finished their studies and wants a long-term career in electrical design.

You don’t need design experience. You’ll get full, structured training to become an EPLAN Electrical Designer.

POSITION INFO:
What does an EPLAN Designer do?
EPLAN is the leading software for designing electrical control systems. An EPLAN Designer creates the technical drawings and documents that tell panel builders and electricians exactly how a system is built and wired. Once you’re trained, your work will include:

Drawing electrical schematics and circuit diagrams for control panels, machines and plant installations
Designing panel layouts, i.e. where each breaker, contactor, PLC, relay and terminal goes in the enclosure
Producing wiring diagrams, terminal plans, cable schedules and connection lists
Making the bill of materials (BOM) that purchasing and the workshop use
Using standard symbols and following IEC/SANS standards and good practice
Updating drawings when projects change, and producing “as-built” documents at the end
Working closely with engineers, project managers, panel builders and site teams so the design works in practice

Your background as an electrician will be a big advantage, because you already know how panels are built and wired in real life.
What you’ll get

Structured, on-the-job training in EPLAN Electric P8
Mentorship from experienced designers and engineers
A clear path from entry level to fully skilled designer
A stable, long-term position with a growing company

Requirements

Qualified electrician (trade tested)
Recently completed a relevant qualification (e.g. N6, National Diploma or BTech/Advanced Diploma in Electrical Engineering)
A real interest in design and technical drawing
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English (Afrikaans is a bonus)
Strong attention to detail and good computer skills
Committed to a long-term career with the company
Able to commute to Stikland, Cape Town

Advantageous

Exposure to AutoCAD Electrical or other CAD software
Basic PLC or control-system knowledge
Panel building or wiring experience
