Job Description

Good with CAD and serious about accuracy? This process plant engineering firm in Hammarsdale could use you. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The work is in Hammarsdale, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

The work, day to day

  • Draft civil layouts, longitudinal sections and cross sections for services
  • Keep the drawing register current and issue drawings on time
  • Update drawings after engineer comments and track revisions
  • Prepare electrical single line diagrams and cable routing drawings
  • 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
  • At least 2 years working as a draughtsperson in your discipline
  • Understanding of engineering drawing standards and tolerances
  • Advanced skills in AutoCAD plus one 3D package
  • Neat and accurate, with a habit of checking your own work

Helpful, not essential

  • Registration with ECSA as a Candidate Engineering Technician
  • Workshop or site background

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Hammarsdale really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): ID copy (certified and recent), a PDF portfolio of 5 to 10 drawings with client details removed plus qualification certificate and results.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.

How to stand out
