About This Role

This is a hands-on diagnostic and repair role within a private automotive company in Addis Ababa, focused on keeping vehicle electrical systems running reliably. The position suits a technician who has spent years working with automotive wiring, control units, and accessories and who can work independently without constant supervision. Ayat S.co operates in a sector where fleet reliability directly affects the bottom line, so the electrician is a core operational role rather than a support function.

What the Requirements Say About This Role

The experience thresholds signal that the employer wants someone past the learning curve — a technician who can diagnose faults without trial and error and who understands how electrical problems cascade into mechanical ones. The COC certification preference indicates a formal verification culture, suggesting the company values documented competency over informal experience claims. The combination of diagnostic, installation, and preventive maintenance duties points to a role with real autonomy, where the electrician is trusted to decide what work is needed and then execute it.

How to Approach This Application

Lead with specific diagnostic scenarios you have handled — particular vehicle types, fault categories, or electrical systems you have repaired — rather than listing duties from past roles. If you hold COC certification, state it clearly near the top of your application; it is likely a differentiator in shortlisting. Mention your experience with preventive maintenance scheduling, as employers in this sector want technicians who reduce breakdowns rather than only fix them.

Best Fit

Who This Role Suits

Best suited for a technically experienced auto electrician with formal TVET credentials and a track record of independent diagnostic work, likely coming from a garage, fleet operator, or dealership environment. Given the seniority and certification expectations, the applicant pool is narrower than general mechanic roles, making this moderately competitive for well-qualified candidates.

  • Replace and clean auto electrical components.
  • Carry out preventive maintenance activities as per guidelines and procedures provided by supervisors.
  • Perform routine and scheduled maintenance and repair services.
  • Maintain cleanliness of work area.
