Job Description

This civil engineering consultancy in Gqeberha needs someone who can check a design and then go and check it was built right. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The work, day to day

  • Apply for municipal wayleaves and building plan approvals
  • Design water pipelines, sewers and stormwater systems with hydraulic software
  • Act as resident engineer: inspect works, measure quantities and certify payments
  • Check drawings from technicians and sign them for issue
  • Prepare tender documents under GCC 2015 or NEC contracts

You'll need

  • BEng, BSc Eng or BTech in Civil Engineering
  • Good grasp of South African design codes for your field
  • At least 3 years in design or construction supervision
  • Registered with ECSA as a professional or candidate

On offer

  • Flexible working on design weeks
  • Group life and disability cover
  • Professional development and mentorship toward Pr Eng
  • Site allowance when you work as resident engineer
