Job Description

You'll design and supervise infrastructure people use every day, with the road agency project office in Durban Central. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Durban Central; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What your day looks like

  • Check drawings from technicians and sign them for issue
  • Chair site meetings and handle contractor queries
  • Prepare tender documents under GCC 2015 or NEC contracts
  • Apply for municipal wayleaves and building plan approvals
  • Design reinforced concrete and steel structures to SANS 10100 and SANS 10162

Must-haves

  • BEng, BSc Eng or BTech in Civil Engineering
  • Experience with structural or hydraulic design software
  • Good grasp of South African design codes for your field
  • At least 3 years in design or construction supervision

Helpful, not essential

  • Master's degree in structural or water engineering
  • Registration with SAICE and active CPD
  • Contract management training for NEC or GCC

What you get

  • Group life and disability cover
  • Professional development and mentorship toward Pr Eng
  • Flexible working on design weeks

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): copy of ID with a commissioner of oaths stamp plus ECSA certificate of registration.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 9 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Durban Central.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

How to stand out

  • Say whether you have done resident engineer work. It is a separate skill and often in short supply.
  • Mention the design software you use and the codes you design to, so the reviewer does not have to guess.
