Careers

Join a Randburg team that works on real backup power jobs

We are based in Randburg, Johannesburg and support clients in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand, Roodepoort, Sandton and Fourways. The work is practical, often fast paced, and tied to the realities of load-shedding, municipal rules and site conditions that can change from one property to the next.

Our team includes people who handle site assessments, backup sizing, inverter installation, battery installation, essential circuit wiring, changeover solutions and commissioning. We also help with compliance support, monitoring setup, battery expansions, fault checks and routine servicing, so there is room for different strengths across technical and client facing work.

Roles we hire for across operations and technical support

We hire for a mix of office, field and support roles as the business grows. Some people join on the technical side, others in planning, customer care or project coordination. If you are organised, steady under pressure and comfortable working with customers who need clear guidance, you may be a fit.

• Technical sales and product support for inverter and lithium battery projects
• Project coordination and scheduling for installations and service visits
• Customer support and follow up on enquiries, quotes and after sales queries
• Service planning, fault logging and routine maintenance coordination
• Operations support for stock, job cards and site readiness

We value people who can communicate clearly, keep records accurate and work safely on live sites where backup systems have to be planned carefully, especially in older homes and busy business premises.

What matters in our day to day work

Good work in this field depends on careful sizing, neat installation and proper handover. A backup system has to match the essential load, battery capacity and the way the client actually uses power, not just what looks suitable on paper. Coastal humidity is less of a concern in Gauteng, but dust, heat and poor ventilation still matter, so attention to detail is important.

• Working neatly and safely on residential and commercial sites
• Understanding inverter and battery basics from established practice
• Respecting registration requirements, compliance and municipal processes
• Keeping clients informed in plain language
• Spotting faults early and fixing them properly

We are not looking for showy talk. We look for people who can do the work properly, keep to time and understand that reliability is what clients are paying for, especially when outages affect daily business or family routines.

How to apply with your CV

If you would like to work with us, send your CV through the enquiry form on our contact page and tell us what kind of role you are interested in. Include your location, relevant experience and whether you have worked on inverter, battery or changeover installations before.

We review applications for current and future opportunities, so even if there is no vacancy listed, you are welcome to make contact. If your background suits the work, our team will get back to you through the details you provide, please make sure they are correct.

We do not request applications by phone or message, and we prefer clear written information so we can match people to the right kind of work.

What working at PowerCut looks like

The work here is organised, the standards are clear and the team understands the pressure that comes with backup power work in Johannesburg and surrounding areas. Our projects range from compact home systems to larger business installations, so there is variety and room to learn.

We also work with the reality that installations must be done by a registered electrician and need a certificate of compliance. Where a system is grid-tied, municipal registration is required. That means our people need to be comfortable with proper process, not shortcuts.

If you want to build experience in a practical South African trade environment, with steady client contact and real site work, this may suit you well.
