Civil Engineering Technologist (Roads)

Roads, water, buildings: the structural design practice in Stellenbosch needs a civil engineer who can take a project from design to site. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The site is in Stellenbosch; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.
