How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Benoni; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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

  • 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.
