Job Description

Real machines, real budgets and real downtime targets at the engineering consultancy in Worcester. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The site is in Worcester; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

  • Check pressure vessels for compliance with the Pressure Equipment Regulations and SANS 347
  • 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

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and 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. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 5 working days, usually by phone.

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.
