Mechanical Draughtsperson (Steel Fabrication)

Clean, clear drawings that the workshop can build from: that is the job at the process plant engineering firm in Roodepoort. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The work is in Roodepoort, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.
