Graduate Electrician

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 youre 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.
