Job description

You will work within a specialized Heat Tracing department, consisting of experts passionate about their field. Projects are highly varied, from industrial facilities to large infrastructure projects and maritime environments.

Your workweek may include:

• Commissioning ATEX-certified Heat Tracing systems on offshore platforms.
• Troubleshooting heating failures using infrared technology at a prominent museum’s entrance ramp.
• Conducting repairs on Heat Tracing systems at correctional facilities.
• Walking through major road tunnels to inspect the Heat Tracing of emergency fire suppression systems.
• Completing administration, system inspections, and project handovers from home at the end of the week.

Heat Tracing is often a small but vital part of industrial and infrastructure installations. Clients typically realise its critical importance only when systems fail – leading to frozen pipes, stalled pumps due to solidified products, or unsafe conditions on ramps and roadways. Your expertise ensures these systems function reliably and continuously.

What you bring

You are passionate about technology and continuously seek innovative ways to develop yourself and your team. Professionalism is at the core of your work, especially when it comes to maintaining the highest safety standards. You are proactive and solution-oriented, taking ownership of challenges and delivering high-quality results. While you are capable of working independently, you also value strong collaboration with colleagues and clients to achieve the best outcomes together.

Other requirements:

• Red Seal Electrician, Bachelor’s degree or National Diploma in Electrical Engineering.
• Several years of experience in the industrial sector; knowledge of Heat Tracing systems is advantageous.
• Familiarity with ATEX environments or willingness to achieve certification.
• Valid driver’s license.
• SACPCMP registration (or willingness to obtain).
