Reliability Engineer (Rotating Equipment)

This petrochemical plant in Benoni needs a mechanical engineer who is as comfortable on the plant floor as in the design office. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll report in Benoni. Relocation is not covered for this one. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.
