Electrical Engineer Salary At Sasol
The electrical engineering industry is one of the most competitive and lucrative careers in the world. The salary for an electrical engineer can vary from company to company, but it generally ranges from $62,000 to $120,000 per year. Electrical engineers are responsible for managing the electrical systems of a facility, including power distribution and control systems. This requires a lot of knowledge about electricity and how it works. Electrical engineers are also responsible for designing and building electrical equipment such as computers and other devices that use electricity.
Electrical engineers work primarily in manufacturing facilities where they design products by using computer programs such as AutoCAD or SolidWorks. They may also work in research laboratories testing new technologies or developing new ways to use existing technology. In some cases they may work on large-scale projects like building bridges or skyscrapers.
Electrical engineers make up just over half of all engineers employed in the United States today according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). This means there are many opportunities available for those who wish want to pursue this career path!

Eskom is a South African electricity public utility. It was established in 1923 as the Electricity Supply Commission (ESCOM) and also known by its Afrikaans name Elektrisiteitsvoorsieningskommissie (EVKOM), by the South African government and people of the Republic of South Africa in terms of the Electricity Act (1922). South Africa became a republic in the 1960s. Eskom represents South Africa in the Southern African Power Pool. The utility is the largest producer of electricity in Africa,[2][3] and was among the top utilities in the world in terms of generation capacity and sales, but has since slipped in both categories. It is the largest of South Africa’s state owned enterprises. Eskom operates a number of notable power stations, including Matimba Power Station and Medupi Power Station in Lephalale, Kusile Power Station in Witbank, Kendal Power Station, and Koeberg Nuclear Power Station in the Western Cape Province, the only nuclear power plant in Africa.
The company is divided into Generation, Transmission and Distribution divisions, and together Eskom generates approximately 95% of electricity used in South Africa, amounting to ~45% used in Africa,[4] and emits 42% of South Africa’s total greenhouse gas emissions.[5][6][7][8] By releasing 1.6 million tons of sulfur dioxide into the air in 2019, Eskom is also the largest emitter of sulfur dioxide in the power industry in the world.[9] In 2019, it was announced that Eskom was to be split up into three distinct nationally owned entities due to huge debts and poor reliability of supply.[10]
At the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, a deal was announced for rich countries to fund South Africa’s transition from coal power to renewable energy. However, employment in the mining sector threatens this transition.[11]
