The organisation is recruiting a Plant Engineer for its Margate operation. The role forms part of a wider engineering jobs portfolio across KwaZulu-Natal.
Overview
Beyond that, the Plant Engineer vacancy forms part of how the Margate branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the engineering jobs side of the business moving forward.
