Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): copy of ID with a commissioner of oaths stamp plus ECSA certificate of registration.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Germiston.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Before you hit apply

Say whether you have done resident engineer work. It is a separate skill and often in short supply.
Mention the design software you use and the codes you design to, so the reviewer does not have to guess.
