Why Choose the Programme?

Heavy Current engineers are responsible for managing the effective supply and distribution of electricity. Heavy Current technicians act as a support structure to engineers and ensure that any faults with the equipment supplying the electricity are fixed so that the regular supply of electricity is not affected. The role of the Heavy Current technician is to ensure that all equipment is fully functional with regular inspection and maintenance. With the current crisis at Eskom, Electrical Engineers, both at entry-level and senior levels, are in demand and will suit a person who enjoys problem solving and working in teams to resolve any technical issues that affect the supply of power.
