Job Description

You'll keep the plant reliable and improve how it runs at the engineering consultancy in Midrand. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is Midrand-based, with most of your time spent at an engineering consultancy. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

The work, day to day

  • Check pressure vessels for compliance with the Pressure Equipment Regulations and SANS 347
  • Sign off modifications and keep drawings and records current
  • Manage shutdowns: planning, spares, contractors and safe restart
  • Hold the GMR 2.1 appointment and keep machinery safety legal on site
  • Prepare the maintenance budget and report monthly on spend
  • Analyse breakdowns with root cause methods and fix the cause, not the symptom

You'll need

  • Confident with 3D CAD software and engineering calculations
  • BEng or BSc Eng in Mechanical Engineering, or a BTech or Advanced Diploma for technologist roles
  • Working knowledge of the OHS Act and General Machinery Regulations
  • Registered with ECSA as Pr Eng, Pr Tech Eng or Candidate, depending on level
  • Code 08 licence for site visits
  • Three or more years working as a qualified engineer, in industry or consulting

What you get

  • Performance bonus tied to plant availability
  • ECSA registration fees and CPD paid
  • Medical aid and retirement fund contributions

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Midrand really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: a list of projects with your role on each, certified copy of your ID plus ECSA registration certificate.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 9 working days.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

  • Put your ECSA category and number under your name. For senior roles it is often the first filter.
  • Keep the CV to three pages. Link to a short portfolio of designs rather than attaching large files.
