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

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.

How to stand out

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.
