Turn your precision and creativity into real-world engineering solutions!

Is this you?

You’re meticulous with an eye for accuracy, able to translate concepts into clear, detailed technical drawings. You enjoy collaborating with engineers and project teams but are equally comfortable working independently. Adaptable and open to feedback, you thrive in a fast-paced environment where your organisational skills and ability to juggle multiple tasks keep projects moving forward.

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

You’ll support the engineering team by producing detailed 2D and 3D CAD drawings of mechanical parts, assemblies, and systems. Working from sketches, calculations, and specifications, you’ll ensure designs are translated into accurate technical documentation. Alongside maintaining the drawing library and ensuring compliance with standards, you’ll assist in clarifying drawings for manufacturing, support prototype development, and contribute to design refinements through close collaboration with engineers.

Where you’ll be doing it

Our client is a well-established engineering solutions provider in the mining and industrial sectors, with decades of experience delivering turnkey projects globally. With in-house design, drafting, machining, and fabrication capabilities, they pride themselves on taking ideas from concept through to commissioning. Their culture encourages precision, collaboration, and professional growth, offering exposure to a wide variety of cutting-edge projects and technologies.

What you’ll need

A diploma or certification in Mechanical Drafting or Design is essential, along with strong proficiency in CAD software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or Inventor. You’ll bring a solid grasp of mechanical drawings, dimensioning, and materials, with excellent attention to detail. Strong communication skills in English are key, while Afrikaans is an advantage. Experience in industrial or mining environments, familiarity with design standards, and knowledge of PDM/ERP systems will set you apart.

What you’ll get

A competitive monthly salary of R30,000, plus the opportunity to work on innovative projects shaping the future of mining and industrial solutions. You’ll gain valuable exposure to the full project lifecycle and enjoy clear pathways for career development into more senior drafting or design roles.
