Job Description

This bulk water utility in Stellenbosch needs someone who can check a design and then go and check it was built right. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

You'll be based at a bulk water utility in Stellenbosch. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What you'll actually do

  • Prepare tender documents under GCC 2015 or NEC contracts
  • Check drawings from technicians and sign them for issue
  • Work out loads to SANS 10160 for buildings and structures
  • Design reinforced concrete and steel structures to SANS 10100 and SANS 10162
  • Write design reports and handover documents

Must-haves

  • Registered with ECSA as a professional or candidate
  • Experience with structural or hydraulic design software
  • Code 08 licence and willingness to spend time on site
  • 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
  • Experience on public sector infrastructure projects

What's in it for you

  • Group life and disability cover
  • Site allowance when you work as resident engineer
  • Professional development and mentorship toward Pr Eng

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): copy of ID with a commissioner of oaths stamp, civil engineering degree certificate plus ECSA certificate of registration.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.
