What you'll actually do

Run vibration, thermography and oil analysis programmes on critical equipment
Mentor candidate engineers and artisans on technical problems
Prepare the maintenance budget and report monthly on spend
Manage shutdowns: planning, spares, contractors and safe restart
Analyse breakdowns with root cause methods and fix the cause, not the symptom
Sign off modifications and keep drawings and records current
Check pressure vessels for compliance with the Pressure Equipment Regulations and SANS 347

You'll need

Registered with ECSA as Pr Eng, Pr Tech Eng or Candidate, depending on level
Able to manage contractors and budgets
Confident with 3D CAD software and engineering calculations
Working knowledge of the OHS Act and General Machinery Regulations
BEng or BSc Eng in Mechanical Engineering, or a BTech or Advanced Diploma for technologist roles

What's in it for you

Performance bonus tied to plant availability
ECSA registration fees and CPD paid
Study support for postgraduate courses

If you hold a GCC, say which one and when you got it. It opens senior plant posts.
Put your ECSA category and number under your name. For senior roles it is often the first filter.
