About Mazzy Automations
Mazzy Automations is a registered South African company specializing in the design, supply, installation, and servicing of automation systems for both residential and industrial clients, locally and internationally, at competitive prices. We work closely with our clients to understand their goals and budgets before proposing tailored solutions that balance performance and cost.
Working with architects, designers, builders, and cabinet-makers, we ensure our systems are visually appealing, enhance décor, and are optimally positioned for sound and vision. Our solutions feature robust, user-friendly control interfaces that enable easy management and remote monitoring of audio, visual, and security systems — handled through a structured approach that adapts to the complexity of each job, with a focus on quality, reliability, and proactive servicing.
The Role
This is a full-time, on-site Trainee position based in Sandton, Gauteng. You'll support the design, installation, and maintenance of home and industrial automation systems under the guidance of our experienced team, working alongside senior technicians, project managers, and partners such as architects and builders.
No prior automation experience is required — but you should bring basic knowledge of hand tools and an electronics background. Beyond that, what matters most is a genuine interest in the tech, a practical mindset, and a willingness to learn. We'll teach you the automation side.
What You'll Do
- Assist senior technicians with equipment setup, wiring, and system configuration on client sites
- Help test and troubleshoot home and industrial automation systems — lighting, switches, curtains, cameras, security, and more
- Learn to use our control interfaces and remote monitoring tools
- Help document project requirements and follow technical instructions
- Connect systems to WiFi and smart-home networks and confirm everything works before we leave site
- Keep each job site clean, safe, and professional, and support the team in showing clients the basics of their new system
Requirements
- Basic knowledge of hand tools and an electronics background
- Foundational technical aptitude and a genuine interest in automation, electrical systems, or audio-visual technologies
- Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a willingness to follow technical procedures and safety guidelines
- Effective communication and teamwork — able to work well with colleagues, clients, and external partners
- Able to work on-site, perform hands-on physical tasks, and adhere to safety and quality standards
- Confident using a smartphone and apps (you'll configure systems this way)
- Willing to travel to client sites across South Africa
- Matric (Grade 12) or equivalent; based in or able to commute to Sandton
- Motivation to learn, adapt to new technologies, and build a career in home and industrial automation
Nice to Have
- Basic understanding of IT or networking concepts (hardware setup, connectivity, system configuration)
- A relevant qualification or ongoing studies in engineering, electronics, IT, or a related field
- A valid driver's licence and/or own transport
- Any exposure to electrical, handyman, IT/networking, or CCTV work
- Familiarity with smart device protocols (WiFi, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Bluetooth)
What We Offer
- Hands-on training and mentorship from experienced technicians
- A clear path to grow into a qualified automation installer
- Competitive pay with room to increase as your skills develop
- The chance to build a career with a fast-moving automation company working locally and internationally
