Millwright (Production Plant) – Immediate Start

The packaging manufacturer in Rosslyn needs an artisan who can fix a breakdown fast and machine a part when needed. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

This post is in Rosslyn (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Replace bearings, seals and couplings on pumps, gearboxes and motors
• Respond to breakdowns and get the line running again safely
• Machine shafts, bushes and keyways on a lathe and milling machine
• Maintain hydraulic and pneumatic systems on production lines
• Align shafts with a laser alignment tool after every drive change
• Follow the lockout procedure before any work on machinery
• Inspect and adjust conveyors, chains and sprockets

• Basic understanding of the General Machinery Regulations
• N2 or N3 engineering subjects
• You read engineering drawings and measure with micrometers and verniers
• Willing to work shifts, standby and weekend shutdowns

• CNC programming experience
• Millwright trade test, since it covers both mechanical and electrical
• Forklift licence for moving heavy parts

• Shift and standby allowances
• Tool allowance
