Artisans (x3) – Machine Shop

Location: Woodmead, Johannesburg

Salary: Market related
Duration: Permanent

Not every artisan gets to solve problems that keep an entire operation moving. This one does.

Is this you?

You’re hands-on, technically minded and enjoy figuring out how things work. You have cylindrical grinding, form grinding and surface grinding experience. Problem-solving comes naturally to you, and you take pride in doing things properly the first time. You work well in a team, communicate clearly and stay calm when pressure is on. Attention to detail, accountability and a strong safety mindset are simply part of how you operate.

What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)

You’ll provide operational support within a busy machine shop environment, focusing on maintenance schedules, routine servicing and ensuring equipment reliability. Your day will involve fault finding, machine inspections, repairs and assisting with workshop-related tasks while contributing to planned maintenance activities. You’ll also support breakdown resolution and help maintain engineering standards across the operation. You’ll enjoy this role because your expertise will directly contribute to keeping production running efficiently while working in an environment where technical skill is genuinely valued.

Where you’ll be doing it

You’ll join a well-established engineering and manufacturing environment known for its strong operational standards, technical expertise and commitment to continuous improvement. The culture is collaborative, safety-focused and built around delivering quality work while developing people’s skills and experience in a practical, fast-paced setting.

What you’ll need

You’ll need to be a qualified artisan with at least 3 years’ machine shop experience. You have cylindrical grinding, form grinding and surface grinding experience. Strong fault-finding ability, machine maintenance knowledge and a good understanding of engineering principles are essential. Experience with planned maintenance systems and exposure to a manufacturing environment will help you succeed in this role. A proactive mindset, reliability and the ability to work independently are equally important.

What you’ll get

In return, you’ll receive a market-related salary and the opportunity to work in a technically driven environment where your contribution makes a real operational impact while continuing to build your engineering experience.
