Job Description

This petrochemical plant in Fourways needs a mechanical engineer who is as comfortable on the plant floor as in the design office. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The site is in Fourways; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

  • Design conveyors, chutes and structures in SolidWorks or Inventor
  • Write scopes of work and compare contractor quotes
  • Prepare the maintenance budget and report monthly on spend
  • Sign off modifications and keep drawings and records current
  • Check pressure vessels for compliance with the Pressure Equipment Regulations and SANS 347

Must-haves

  • Confident with 3D CAD software and engineering calculations
  • Able to manage contractors and budgets
  • Code 08 licence for site visits
  • Registered with ECSA as Pr Eng, Pr Tech Eng or Candidate, depending on level
  • Working knowledge of the OHS Act and General Machinery Regulations
