Job Description

This civil engineering consultancy in Tzaneen needs someone who can check a design and then go and check it was built right. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

Registered with ECSA as a professional or candidate
Code 08 licence and willingness to spend time on site
Good grasp of South African design codes for your field
Experience with structural or hydraulic design software

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: ECSA certificate of registration, copy of ID with a commissioner of oaths stamp plus civil engineering degree certificate.
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 7 working days.

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

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

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