Job Description

You'll turn engineers' sketches into accurate drawings for the civil and structural consultancy in Midrand. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

The site is in Midrand; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What you'll actually do

  • Draw general arrangements, details and fabrication drawings in AutoCAD or Inventor
  • Prepare electrical single line diagrams and cable routing drawings
  • Check shop drawings from subcontractors against design drawings
  • Model steel structures in Tekla and produce shop drawings and cutting lists
  • Update drawings after engineer comments and track revisions
  • Draft civil layouts, longitudinal sections and cross sections for services
  • Take site measurements to check existing conditions

You'll need

  • Able to read engineers' mark-ups and ask the right questions
  • Neat and accurate, with a habit of checking your own work
  • Advanced skills in AutoCAD plus one 3D package
  • National Diploma or N6 in Mechanical, Civil or Electrical Engineering, or a draughting qualification
  • Understanding of engineering drawing standards and tolerances
  • Good time planning when several projects need drawings at once

Nice if you have

  • Workshop or site background
  • Experience with plant piping design software

What you get

  • Two-screen workstation
  • Paid training on new software
  • Latest CAD software licences

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Midrand really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: a PDF portfolio of 5 to 10 drawings with client details removed plus ID copy (certified and recent).
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.

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

  • Remove client names and logos from sample drawings. Recruiters notice if you share confidential work.
  • List the software versions you use daily. Firms want to know you can start without training.
