Job Description

Design it, build it, fix it: mechanical engineering work at the petrochemical plant in Pretoria West. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The site is in Pretoria West; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

The work, day to day

  • Analyse breakdowns with root cause methods and fix the cause, not the symptom
  • Prepare the maintenance budget and report monthly on spend
  • Check pressure vessels for compliance with the Pressure Equipment Regulations and SANS 347
  • Plan and track preventive maintenance in the CMMS with the artisans and planners
  • Hold the GMR 2.1 appointment and keep machinery safety legal on site

What you need

  • Confident with 3D CAD software and engineering calculations
  • Registered with ECSA as Pr Eng, Pr Tech Eng or Candidate, depending on level
  • Able to manage contractors and budgets
  • BEng or BSc Eng in Mechanical Engineering, or a BTech or Advanced Diploma for technologist roles
  • Code 08 licence for site visits

Nice if you have

  • Government Certificate of Competency (Mechanical, Factories)
  • Experience with SAP PM for maintenance

On offer

  • ECSA registration fees and CPD paid
  • Company laptop and CAD licences
  • Medical aid and retirement fund contributions
  • Study support for postgraduate courses
