Engineering Jobs in South Africa

Engineering skills keep South Africa running, from power and water to mining, manufacturing, construction and telecommunications. Engineers and technicians are hired by mining houses, energy producers, construction firms, consulting engineers, manufacturers and government entities. Typical roles include civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical and mining engineers, as well as engineering technicians, draughtspeople, maintenance planners and project managers. Many positions require registration with ECSA or relevant trade qualifications, and site-based roles may involve travel or working in remote areas. Graduate and in-service training programmes are a popular route for newly qualified engineers. Tip: on your CV, describe the projects you worked on, your specific responsibilities and the results you achieved, rather than just listing duties.
