Job Description

You'll turn engineers' sketches into accurate drawings for the civil and structural consultancy in Mbombela. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Mbombela; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

What your day looks like

  • Prepare electrical single line diagrams and cable routing drawings
  • Model steel structures in Tekla and produce shop drawings and cutting lists
  • Draw general arrangements, details and fabrication drawings in AutoCAD or Inventor
  • Update drawings after engineer comments and track revisions
  • Check shop drawings from subcontractors against design drawings

You'll need

  • Able to read engineers' mark-ups and ask the right questions
  • Good time planning when several projects need drawings at once
  • Advanced skills in AutoCAD plus one 3D package
  • National Diploma or N6 in Mechanical, Civil or Electrical Engineering, or a draughting qualification
  • Understanding of engineering drawing standards and tolerances

Helpful, not essential

  • Workshop or site background
  • Revit or Civil 3D experience

What's in it for you

  • Latest CAD software licences
  • Paid training on new software
  • Two-screen workstation
  • Hybrid work once you are settled in

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: ID copy (certified and recent) plus a PDF portfolio of 5 to 10 drawings with client details removed.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • A good drawing portfolio beats a long CV. Show a range: general arrangement, details and a 3D model view.
  • List the software versions you use daily. Firms want to know you can start without training.
