SUMMARY:

Maintenance Electrician

Cape Town
Machines don’t fail without a reason. Circuits don’t trip by accident. Behind every efficient production line is someone who understands that performance is not luck – it’s engineered.
A leading player in specialised branding solutions is seeking a Maintenance Electrician who doesn’t just fix problems, but anticipates them. Someone who takes ownership of uptime, understands the rhythm of a plant, and knows that every second of downtime has a cost.
You will step into a dynamic manufacturing environment where your ability to interpret, troubleshoot and improve systems will directly impact operational performance.

POSITION INFO:

What your role demands
You will be responsible for maintaining and improving production equipment across both electrical and mechanical disciplines.

Respond to breakdowns across electrical, PLC and mechanical systems
Execute preventative, predictive and planned maintenance
Drive machine reliability, upgrades and continuous improvement
Support shutdowns, projects and site maintenance activities
Ensure compliance with safety and maintenance standards

This is not a passive maintenance role. It requires urgency, accountability and the mindset of someone who takes pride in keeping operations running.
What you bring to the role

Trade-tested Electrician qualification
5–7 years’ experience within a manufacturing or plant environment
Proven fault-finding and troubleshooting ability
Exposure to PLCs and integrated machinery systems
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently

Your ability to stay methodical under pressure, communicate effectively, and think beyond the immediate fix will set you apart.

What sets you apart
You don’t wait for instructions. You take initiative.
You don’t just repair – you prevent recurrence.
You don’t see maintenance as reactive – you see it as a strategy.
This role requires flexibility, energy, and a willingness to be available when the operation needs you – including shifts, overtime, and call-outs.
If you are someone who thrives in high-performance environments and understands the critical role maintenance plays in production success, this opportunity will challenge and reward you.
If you have not had any response within 14 days of your application, please consider your application unsuccessful.
