Job Description

Good with CAD and serious about accuracy? This civil and structural consultancy in Richards Bay could use you. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

You'll report in Richards Bay. Relocation is not covered for this one. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

  • Follow SANS 10111 drawing conventions and the office title block standard

What you need

  • Understanding of engineering drawing standards and tolerances
  • Good time planning when several projects need drawings at once
  • Advanced skills in AutoCAD plus one 3D package
  • Neat and accurate, with a habit of checking your own work

Nice if you have

  • Registration with ECSA as a Candidate Engineering Technician
  • Experience with plant piping design software

On offer

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: a PDF portfolio of 5 to 10 drawings with client details removed plus qualification certificate and results.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 6 working days.

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

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.

Before you hit apply

  • 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.
