Geotechnical Engineer (Foundations) – Immediate Start

Clean water, safe roads and sound structures start with a good engineer at the bulk water utility in Kariega. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is Kariega-based, with most of your time spent at a bulk water utility.

• Work out loads to SANS 10160 for buildings and structures
• Act as resident engineer: inspect works, measure quantities and certify payments
• Apply for municipal wayleaves and building plan approvals
• Write design reports and handover documents
• Chair site meetings and handle contractor queries
• Check drawings from technicians and sign them for issue
• Review geotechnical reports and choose suitable foundations

• BEng, BSc Eng or BTech in Civil Engineering
• At least 3 years in design or construction supervision
• Code 08 licence and willingness to spend time on site
• Good grasp of South African design codes for your field

• Registration with SAICE and active CPD
• Contract management training for NEC or GCC

• Site allowance when you work as resident engineer
• Flexible working on design weeks
• Group life and disability cover
• Professional development and mentorship toward Pr Eng

• 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.
