Mechanical Draughtsperson (Steel Fabrication)

Clean, clear drawings that the workshop can build from: that is the job at the electrical contractor design office in Brakpan. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

Home base is an electrical contractor design office on the Brakpan side of Gauteng. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.
