How to apply

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Pietermaritzburg really suit you before you apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: copy of ID with a commissioner of oaths stamp, ECSA certificate of registration plus civil engineering degree certificate.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

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

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

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