Piping Designer (Plant Layout)

Clean, clear drawings that the workshop can build from: that is the job at the engineering design office in Umlazi. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

You'll report in Umlazi. Relocation is not covered for this one. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.
