Job Description

This petrochemical plant in Tembisa needs a mechanical engineer who is as comfortable on the plant floor as in the design office. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

The work is in Tembisa, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What your day looks like

  • Check pressure vessels for compliance with the Pressure Equipment Regulations and SANS 347
  • Plan and track preventive maintenance in the CMMS with the artisans and planners
  • Write scopes of work and compare contractor quotes
  • Hold the GMR 2.1 appointment and keep machinery safety legal on site
  • Manage shutdowns: planning, spares, contractors and safe restart
  • Sign off modifications and keep drawings and records current
  • Design conveyors, chutes and structures in SolidWorks or Inventor

Must-haves

  • Registered with ECSA as Pr Eng, Pr Tech Eng or Candidate, depending on level
  • Three or more years working as a qualified engineer, in industry or consulting
  • Code 08 licence for site visits
  • Able to manage contractors and budgets
  • Confident with 3D CAD software and engineering calculations
  • BEng or BSc Eng in Mechanical Engineering, or a BTech or Advanced Diploma for technologist roles

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience with SAP PM for maintenance
  • Government Certificate of Competency (Mechanical, Factories)
  • Project management certificate

What's in it for you

  • Medical aid and retirement fund contributions
  • ECSA registration fees and CPD paid
  • Study support for postgraduate courses

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Tembisa really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: a list of projects with your role on each, degree certificate and academic record plus certified copy of your ID.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 10 working days.
