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.

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

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
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.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

Group your experience by type: water, roads, structures. Consultants look for the exact type in the job ad.
Mention the design software you use and the codes you design to, so the reviewer does not have to guess.
