Run vibration, thermography and oil analysis programmes on critical equipment
Analyse breakdowns with root cause methods and fix the cause, not the symptom
Hold the GMR 2.1 appointment and keep machinery safety legal on site
Prepare the maintenance budget and report monthly on spend

You'll need

Code 08 licence for site visits
Working knowledge of the OHS Act and General Machinery Regulations
Confident with 3D CAD software and engineering calculations
BEng or BSc Eng in Mechanical Engineering, or a BTech or Advanced Diploma for technologist roles
Three or more years working as a qualified engineer, in industry or consulting

Nice if you have

Reliability or asset management certification
Experience with SAP PM for maintenance

What you get

Study support for postgraduate courses
Company laptop and CAD licences
Performance bonus tied to plant availability
Medical aid and retirement fund contributions

How to apply

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
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.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Worcester.

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

Show results in numbers: downtime cut by a percentage, savings in rand, or a project delivered on budget.
If you hold a GCC, say which one and when you got it. It opens senior plant posts.
